Sean Strickland slams UFC amid exit speculation: ‘They don’t pay you enough’

UFC middleweight titleholder Sean Strickland has publicly voiced dissatisfaction regarding his current promotional agreement. Following a recent vehicle collision, the fighter indicated an interest in pursuing professional boxing opportunities, specifically mentioning a potential collaboration with Jake Paul and his Most Valuable Promotions organization.

Strickland argued that the compensation provided by the UFC is insufficient for the physical toll the sport demands, claiming that athletes are often forced to continue competing long after their prime to maintain their livelihoods. He expressed a desire to secure a boxing championship to add to his career accomplishments, though he remains bound by his existing UFC contract.

While he hopes to negotiate a path toward the ring, he suggested he would be prepared to move on if the promotion refuses to accommodate his request.
