Sean Strickland UFC Contract Dispute: Why The Champion Wants More Money

Middleweight champion Sean Strickland is publicly clashing with the UFC over his current pay, suggesting he may move up to the light heavyweight division or leave the promotion entirely. He has expressed frustration regarding the disparity between his earnings and those of other high-profile stars like Conor McGregor.

However, reports indicate that Strickland recently committed to a new six-fight agreement prior to his recent title bout. This development complicates his leverage, as he is currently bound by the terms of that fresh deal despite his recent victory over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328.
