After Jon Jones, Jorge Masvidal put pressure on remuneration with UFC

Currently, UFC is having a funny story causing many changes in the locker room, that is, the superstars of the tournament constantly complained about the compensation, when a weak boxer gets a raise regardless of receiving 3 matches consecutive losses.

In recent times, UFC is having a lot of trouble about salaries for boxers. While the top UFC fighters are constantly denouncing compensation (Masvidal, Jon Jones, Conor McGregor), there are cases where weak, poor, losing fighters receive a raise.

Recently, Tim Elliott (won 15, lost 11, draw 1) has received a decision to raise the salary from UFC regardless of whether he has NOT held the championship title of any previous tournament. Moreover, he competes in Flyweight, a weight that is of little interest at UFC and he is losing 3 consecutive games in a row. What has made this puncher a raise while other UFC PPV superstars are ignored?

Not every superstar will be reminded to raise wages at UFC

Not only Tim Elliott is a boxer who is paid higher than he really is. T within the past 5 years, heavy boxer Alistair Overeem is also on the list of the richest fighters in UFC. However, except that he was once the K1 champion and has fought in many different MMA tournaments, the Dutchman’s performance at UFC is quite modest.

Now, Overeem is still “in charge” of the “doorkeeper” of heavyweight, only hanging around in the top 10 and failing to compete for the title. Even so, In the list of the 10 highest-earning UFC fighters, Overeem has always been a persistent name.

BMF holder Jorge Masvidal is constantly tense with the UFC president, the cause of his dissatisfaction with his current remuneration in the tournament. Jon Jones’s proposal to increase the remuneration for the match against Francis Ngannou gave UFC President Dana White a headache, now the same problem continues with Jorge Masvidal.

Jorge Masvidal is asking for a higher remuneration to be able to fight

It can be seen that this is the main reason why “Gamebred” has postponed the title match with middleweight champion Kamaru Usman, although this is Masvidal’s first match at UFC.

The boxer who is ranked 3rd in Welterweight also points out that boxers like Jon Jones, Henry Cejudo or Conor McGregor all have the same problem. The evidence is the information retired, demanding continuous cancellation of these boxers.

How the defeat Conor McGregor changed Dustin Poirier

Within 6 years, from a “pave the way” for the career of Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier had a position of his own at UFC.

In 2014, Conor McGregor entered the UFC with provocation aimed at the entire Featherweight weight category. Many boxers at that time tried to find a way to stop the arrogant Irishman but failed in turn, including “The Diamond” Dustin Poirier.

After 6 years, Conor McGregor rose to superstar status but Dustin Poirier was no less competitive. The American puncher is currently in the top of the lightweight category and has the most attractive fighting style UFC. Dustin even ranked above Conor in the rankings due to his active play and more victories.

Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor each faced each other in 2014. Sharing about his own development, Dustin Poirier admitted that his match with Conor had begun a significant career change.

Dustin Poirier used to be the path to Conor’s success

At the encounter with Conor, the audience can clearly see a Poirier provoked by opponents before the game. This is also a weakness that many opponents were exploited by Conor McGregor leading to their KO losses against “The Notorious”.

However, in recent times, the image of Poirier has become more “manly”. Instead of a sassy image like before, Poirier impressed with calmness both inside and outside the ring. Not only that, the style of “The Diamond” also became more careful, sharper and more powerful than in the Featherweight days.

Dustin Poirier’s current is a successful martial artist and receives respect from all opponents. After the victory over Dan Hooker over the weekend, Dustin Poirier is firmly in 3rd place. The boxer from the American Top Team is on a break before continuing for the title race promising to be tense when the defending champion Khabib Nurmagomedov returns to the ring.
