FREESTYLEBENDER<\/a> YouTube channel, Adesanya shared a message for White regarding UFC fighter pay after Benn\u2019s big signing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u201cZuffa Boxing\u2019s the next challenge he\u2019s set his eyes on \u2013 but with that being said, don\u2019t forget what brought you to the game,\u201d Adesanya said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what got him to be Dana White, the UFC President. So I can see why the other fighters\u2026do I feel jaded by it? No. I understand and know these guys are top-class boxers, best in the world at what they do. But so are we! This is the UFC, and if one guy can command that kind of money from one fight\u2026this is what\u2019s keeping the lights on is the UFC.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love ultimate fighting, not limited fighting,\u201d Adesanya continued. \u201cI don\u2019t feel jaded by it, but f\u2014 it, I want $15 million for one fight too!\u201d<\/p>\n
Adesanya is set to return to the Octagon at UFC Seattle later this month. Meanwhile, negotiations for Benn\u2019s Zuffa Boxing debut remain ongoing.<\/p>\n
