Considered to be the most attractive MMA in the world, gathering top boxers, but UFC is also considered the most “blood -sucking” fighter arena. UFC's revenue and cost structure shows that this is the most money to pay for the athletes on the total profit, but almost no one dares to speak up.
UFC's “silent law” was only broken when three boxers used to compete in this tournament to officially filed a lawsuit to the court. It is Cung Le, Jon Fitch and Kyle Kingsbury. According to the complaints of the above boxers, UFC used unfair competition behaviors to acquire MMA market, thereby forcing boxers to play with cheap remuneration.
Also in the complaint with Cung Le, Jon Fitch and Kyle Kingsbury to the US court, they also pointed out the methods used by UFC to monopolize the MMA market. The UFC side then applied for appeal, but the two judges immediately rejected them. This is a signal that UFC is likely to lose in this case.
More notably, Cung Le, Jon Fitch and Kyle Kingsbury not three rare boxers were “blocked” by UFC. According to the estimate of MMA Fighting, UFC has trimmed about 800 million to 1.6 billion USD of the remuneration of more than 1,000 fighters competing at the most attractive MMA tournament in the world in 2010-2017.
The fact that UFC is entangled in legal troubles may be even more serious if the fighters are more famous than the decision to speak up. One of them is the former Khabib Nurmagomedov champion, who has to sign a contract with many unfavorable terms. In addition, there is information that Khabib receives less than the UFC amount committed to pay on the contract.
The fact that UFC does not guarantee the rights of the attendant martial artists is one of the reasons why the former champion of Heavyweight Francis Ngannou is separated. Talking about the reason for leaving UFC, nunnou said: “I want boxers to buy insurance and personal funding, but Dana White disagrees. They said UFC's law does not allow adjusting them.”
