Bantamweight standout Sean O’Malley does not blame UFC President Dana White for his current stance on fighter pay.<\/p>\n

The UFC’s pay structure has been a hot topic in recent months, with boxer Jake Paul doing his best to promote changes in the way Dana White and company treat fighters.<\/p>\n

‘The Problem Child’ recently made a offer to the UFC boss which stipulated he would retire from boxing if the promotion made the following internal adjustments.<\/p>\n

1. Increase minimum fighter pay to $50k (it\u2019s 12k currently)
\n<\/em>2. Guarantee UFC fighters 50% of the UFC annual revenues ($1bn in 2021)
\n<\/em>3. Provide long term health care to all fighters (you previously said brain damage is part of the gig\u2026 Imagine if the NFL said that). There are many UFC alums who have publicly said they are suffering from brain damage.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley (15-1 MMA), who previously said he was “<\/span>inspired<\/a>” by Jake Paul and his brother Logan, recently touched on the topic of fighter pay during his most recent episode of the\u00a0<\/span>TimboSugarShow<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>For ‘Suga’, he can understand Dana White’s stance on the situation stating the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Dude, like I don’t even blame (Dana). It’s like some of these f*cking people have zero following. They’re not making the UFC one hundred thousand. I mean they’re not making the UFC fifty thousand. They’re not making the UFC any money, really. But, that’s just from a business perspective. From Dana’s business perspective and I can see that.”<\/em> – O’Malley said at the 14:00 minute mark of the video.<\/p>\n
