UFC featherweight contender Charles Jourdain has chimed in on the fighter pay debate.<\/p>\n
Over the last few years, the UFC’s pay structure has come under heavy fire. While Dana White has done his best to shout down critics, the issue hasn’t gone away. Instead, thanks to names such as Jake Paul<\/a>, the issue has only been brought further to the spotlight.<\/p>\n One name that has recently blasted the UFC fighter pay is gaming YouTuber Faze Temper. During a recent interview with MMAFighting<\/em>, the 1-1 professional boxer discussed the topic, as well as possible crossover into MMA.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll fight MMA one day, but right now I\u2019m focused in boxing,” stated the YouTuber. “I started getting interested in boxing with these influencer [bouts], but after I did it, I\u2019m too involved right now, I\u2019m watching a lot of professional boxers.”<\/p>\n \u201c…I hope the MMA world grows financially because these fighters, especially UFC fighters, they deserve more, brother. They\u2019re getting robbed. What Jake Paul is doing right now, joining PFL and helping these fighters financially, I have huge respect for him because these fighters deserve more. They\u2019re getting robbed. I hope this world gets bigger and fighters start to get paid what they deserve.\u201d (h\/t MMAFighting<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n Those comments seemingly struck a nerve with Charles Jourdain. The Canadian has been out of action since a loss to Nathaniel Wood<\/a> in September at UFC France. On Twitter, Jourdain blasted Temper for his comments, stating YouTubers don’t need to help MMA fighters.<\/p>\n Keep sitting behind a computer and talk, martial arts are a way of life that soy boy can't understand. We don't want you clowns to "help" us. — CharlesAirJourdain (@JourdainAir) January 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
You guys are fake and make money of being fake.
