We deserve better,. I\u2019m not speaking only about the UFC, but about the media as well. The fans treat us really well. We suffer a lot and live to do a show. We get paid way less than we deserve. We deliver shows and deserve to get paid more. We practically pay to do this. You deserve to get better paid if you sell the fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To get closer to boxing is complicated, but it would be great. Boxing is in the culture around the world for a long time, while the UFC is new and is still growing. I think it\u2019s hard to get closer to what boxing pays their athletes, but we work for that. If they do get closer one day, I think I\u2019ll be retired already.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Quotes courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/agfight.com.br\/ze-aldo-reclama-de-falta-de-reconhecimento-e-de-salarios-baixos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AGFight<\/a>, and translated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2014\/12\/20\/7426735\/jose-aldo-mma-fighters-practically-pay-to-fight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been much talk recently of fighter pay, and now UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo is adding his opinion to the list.
