+bkcpisme They pay their fighters more than any other fighting organization? What a dumb point. They're the UFC, of course they'll pay more because they have they make more money. They still underpay their athletes. Fact.
+1ceYourPimpHand That's not really how that works. What is the market rate for a UFC fighter? It is what the UFC pays. Therefore they're getting what they're worth. If they went anywhere else, they wouldn't earn as much. When you say they underpay, you have to say who you are comparing them to. Is there any other fighting organization (for MMA, muay thai, bjj, and literally any other fighting sport) that pays more? No.
Honestly, when the Reebok deal expires, they best not renew it. The UFC/WME are under a lot of pressure after that 4 billion dollar spend. They have to reach certain profit margins in the coming months. If they can't afford to pay their fighters fairly, I think given the growth of the sport in the last few years, fighters could make *a lot* of sponsorship money, if they're smart! Hopefully the UFC don't mess that up & they learned their lesson, eh?
the average low level UFC fighter fights 3 times a year (12k to show + 12 to win) that's about 72k plus chance to win 50k fight bonus each fight, maximum pay output would be 220,000 starting year. not bad
ThumbdownMan low draw fighters or starting out fighters make 10k to show and 10k to win most of the time. Take that , minus managers , trainers, travels and eating clean there's not much left. Plus the reebok deal is shitty for new hire fighters.
Reebok deal is actually BETTER for upcoming fighters, it's worse for some seasoned fighters. Also, now newly signed up and coming fighters get 12k per fight +12k if they win. For comparison, in Belator or etc these same fighters would get 2500 and less. So get your information straight before you comment, cause now you're talking out of your ass.
Lmao I'm trying to see the positives here. Didn't Francis Ngannou start training here recently? At least some parts are useful (not sure about the manicured gardens though)
"Hey guys! We're giving these free benefits for the fighters so that they can't complain about the shitty pay!" If I was a UFC fighter, I wouldn't spend a minute in that facility.
This is the least they could do. Their fighters get paid bread crumbs for risking their mental and physical health. Even Their top fighters are not getting a fair share of the profits.
1:58 Is the reason The Netherlands and New Zealand (among many others) flags are not on here is because, aesthetically they are too similar to Russia and Australia?
Wow. What an absolutely complete facility. They've thought of everything, and then some. It's sad that the Fertittas, are out of the business now. Imo, it would've been much easier for ALL the fighters to eventually get the pay they actually deserve from them, instead of the current big wig owners.
UFC doesn't pay bad guys just hit that next level and dont renegotiate their deal are make a bad deal in the beginning now they're a star with pull and fighting on an old contract or guys just dont put people in seats but are good and want what people who fill arenas make. Guess they need to tweak the structure but you dont want guys giving 50% effort, n cruse control making big money because its a giving. Everyone cant be paid even they knew this was the structure when they got in it
I guess. I mean, the one with Ronda Rousey looked cool. The one with Forrest Griffin looks more like a video game poster; there's a real uncanny valley vibe to it.
Can the undercard fighters use their food stamps at the company food hall?
Forest Griffin is funny as hell!
All the fighters money gone into this building lol
LimerickR266 no wonder Connor McGregor is always pist
Walter White: You're god damn right!
finally mainstream media recognising MMA as a sport
Easier to afford that place when you pay your fighters shit
They pay their fighters more than any other fighting organization, so...
+dbdevour Not really. They're the best in the business, and they pay their fighters more than any other fighting organization.
LOL

'I own this place, my Vegas gate takings the last 3 years built this place.' This is Connor's quotes coming soon.
UFC 211 babyy!!!

Where can we find more info about the artists featured at the institute?
PAY THE FIGHTERS!
Forrest is a smart guy. He didn't sit on his ass like Chuck and Matt Hughes did. He actually got involved with the company.
Bad ass set up
Fighters deserve more money
needs more reebok garbage.
Please tell me someone how can I get there
UFC 90s = Martial Arts in its purist form.
UFC Post 90s = WWE
Chucky Justice Some would say that after Conor became the" face of the UFC" and when they got new owners.
Whooooo careees
I want become a UFC fighter but I don't have any link because I from India
wait so fighters are actually going to hang out there train eat shower sleep and have meetings outside on fluffy grass ?
Boxing will always be king in vegas , over ufc , nfl , nba , nhl or any other sport
Very cool!
yet their fighters are paid minimum wage. lol
They are paid more than any other fighting organization, so...
the only thing "minimum" is your brain

Not news. Just an ad. The owners of CNN must have a stake in UFC as well.
Notice how instead of putting the UN and internationally recognized Syrian flag, they put the Free Syrian Army opposition flag.. 1:57
I love this fanbase
Well UFC is owned by WME-IMG which in turn is partly owned by Silver Lake Partners a firm with $26 Billion in Assets.

"Hey guys! We're giving these free benefits for the fighters so that they can't complain about the shitty pay!"
If I was a UFC fighter, I wouldn't spend a minute in that facility.
phenomenom20 if I was a UFC fighter I'd spend every second I could there. Free food , free facilities and I'd be taking shit home from there
If you're not willing to be there, why would you even be a UFC fighter?
totally respect the ufc, dana white is awesome, but do ufc fighters receive adequate pay that they deserve?
Let Reebox pay for the wall... I mean fighter, pay the fighter real money.
Wow wow wow wow wow
Dat Genki Sudo reference 1:58
If you're a low paid fighter, which is the vast majority of them, then I'd imagine seeing this would sting.
DenOfWhasps This will definitely sting a lot for Demetrious Johnson because he's a champion and paid under $200k.
This is the least they could do. Their fighters get paid bread crumbs for risking their mental and physical health. Even Their top fighters are not getting a fair share of the profits.
Fair as compared to what? The NFL? False analogy. Compared to Bellator? The UFC pays more than any other fight organization.
UFC got money, man. I should start promoting fights or a new sport 🤔
1:58 Is the reason The Netherlands and New Zealand (among many others) flags are not on here is because, aesthetically they are too similar to Russia and Australia?
Also why the hell do they have the Union Jack if they already have England and Scotland up there? Good grief...
It's all part of histry Australia and NZ. But I dont like our flag (NZ) is too similar with Aussie and NZ is not English colony...
Wow. What an absolutely complete facility. They've thought of everything, and then some. It's sad that the Fertittas, are out of the business now. Imo, it would've been much easier for ALL the fighters to eventually get the pay they actually deserve from them, instead of the current big wig owners.
Looks like a damn college campus! Spend all that money on headquarters but pay the fighters that make the money pocket change.
forrest still can't take someone down etcetera

Meanwhile Al Iaquinta had to beg for a knee surgery...
Where's the PED lab?
dana "the white don king" white
PAY THEM. FASTEST GROWING SPORT AND IT'S HERE TO STAY. YOU DON'T PAY 4 BILLION DOLLARS, BILLION! N EXPECT TO JUST STAY IN DEBT. NO CEILING !
"Already home to a major league sport, UFC" 😂 UFC isn't a sport momo!
1:20 What the fuck is going on with that picture of Forrest Griffin? It looks like CGI, and he's got weird paint on his face.
I guess. I mean, the one with Ronda Rousey looked cool. The one with Forrest Griffin looks more like a video game poster; there's a real uncanny valley vibe to it.
Khabib
