For those who think the UFC brass is being pressed on fighter pay issues, Matt Brown feels otherwise.<\/p>\n
Jake Paul\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions made a splash within the MMA world by announcing Ronda Rousey\u2019s comeback fight against Gina Carano. Rousey has been critical<\/a> of UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell and has vouched for top MMA stars to be paid what they deserve.<\/p>\n In addition to the MVP show, top UFC stars Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall have been critical of their treatment under the top MMA promotion. While some think that recent developments could lead to significant movement in UFC fighter pay, Brown appeared on MMAFighting<\/a>\u2018s \u201cThe Fighter vs. The Writer\u201d to oppose that belief.<\/p>\n \u201cI would start with saying no, we are not at a breaking point,\u201d Brown said. \u201cThe UFC is still the powerhouse. Look, people like me and you might sit and talk about how yeah maybe it\u2019s not the best fighting the best, it\u2019s Jon Jones versus [Tom] Aspinall or whatever best versus best would, because the UFC has all the best I can think of. It\u2019s not [Francis] Ngannou versus Jones. 99.9-percent of people have no idea who the best even is. Most people don\u2019t even care [and] are never going to talk about Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones is old news now. They got new stars to replace him.<\/p>\n \u201cCould it get to a breaking point is the question and when people like Jon Jones stand up and say \u2018I\u2019m not going to fight for $15 million\u2019 \u2014 that\u2019s when I think the ball can roll a little bit, but it\u2019s more like nudging the ball that even rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n
