Dana White Dismisses Sean Strickland's Financial Complaints

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has been vocal on social media regarding his pay, threatening to void his contract to pursue boxing. UFC CEO Dana White dismissed the complaints during a press conference, noting that Strickland signed a new contract as recently as May. White stated that the financial figures Strickland has cited publicly are inaccurate.

Strickland secured the middleweight title in May after an upset victory over Khamzat Chimaev. Despite signing his new six-fight deal just months ago, he has expressed dissatisfaction with his current earnings. While some fighters have voiced support for Strickland’s stance on athlete compensation, the UFC continues to maintain its contract position.
