You know, personal stuff. But this is probably one thing that I will come out and say: I do believe MMA fighters should be paid some more money. I\u2019m not talking saying millions and trillions, a billion, whatever. Just what they\u2019re worth, a nice piece of the pie,&#8221; Till said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do believe that Reebok should pay more and the UFC should pay a little more, but that\u2019s not a thing I like to talk big on, openly. I\u2019d rather have that conversation with Dana man to man, but that\u2019s where I am with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Till is hardly the first fighter to openly speak about the lack of fighter pay, but he&#8217;s one of the most prominent to do so. Typically it&#8217;s fighters at the bottom end of the ladder that talk about it, not stars like Till. But perhaps it will take a big name like Till speaking out about the lack of pay in the sport that will lead to a change for the better.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Till continues to be in quarantine like the rest of the world while we await the fate of the coronavirus pandemic.
