I need to be more financially stable”"},"content":{"rendered":"

As one of the few men to not just beat but finish featherweight champion Conor McGregor, Joseph Duffy has become a regular in the UFC’s lightweight division. Now 16-2 in MMA, the Irishman is 4-1 in the UFC with his lone loss coming by decision to Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

With one more fight left on his contract, however, Duffy was quite vocal about a pay increase on Monday’s ‘MMA Hour’:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at other pro sports, we\u2019re not making anywhere near that. If you don\u2019t take a stand here, you won\u2019t get what you\u2019re worth. Without a doubt you got to keep an eye on the landscape.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think most fighters are thinking we should be getting paid more, we\u2019re dealing with injuries, concussions. One shot and it could all be over. I need to be in a position where I am financially stable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou gotta play the hand that\u2019s dealt. Al Iaquinta was on last week, our situations are very similar. A lot of fighters are starting to talk about it. We do this because we love it. But we put our body on the line. My dad\u2019s involved in construction, it\u2019s something I\u2019ve actually thought away.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"joseph<\/a><\/p>\n

Duffy referenced Al Iaquinta’s situation<\/a>, which may keep him out of fighting for quite some time after a contract issue turned public. Although he has fought five times for the UFC with three first round finishes out of four wins in the Octagon, Duffy has only received one fight bonus for his submission of Ivan George in 2015<\/a>. Bonuses have become a controversial issue, and were a large part of Iaquinta’s issue with the UFC.<\/p>\n

When asked about possibly walking away from fighting if they money can’t pay the bills, Duffy didn’t hold back and revealed that money will certainly play a part in the future of his fighting career:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m never gonna walk away from training. Fighting? I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s a difficult decision. I feel like maybe if I was a bit more secure maybe I wouldn\u2019t have to worry about financials so much, I could just do it for the joy of it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Joseph<\/a><\/p>\n

Now about to enter contract negotiations himself, Duffy said he will consider the open MMA market but most likely wouldn’t part with the UFC, as he believes the two will find common ground when coming up with his next contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the minute, it\u2019s pretty much just waiting for a contract extension. One more fight, then test free agency and go from there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m more than confident what I\u2019m looking for is what I\u2019ll get.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Duffy will re-sign with the UFC after his next fight? Or will the Irishman possibly jump ship to Bellator like Rory McDonald<\/a> and Benson Henderson<\/a>? Sound off, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
