The UFC didn't pay Demetrious Johnson the 7 figure payday he thought he deserved.
He moved to One FC to escape UFC "oppression" and "persecution" by Dana White.
Jon Jones' future.
We get it you are against fighters making any money. Now go back to being a water boy for CEO’s and make yourself useful.

Randoms told Tito Ortiz the UFC should pay him millions. They said: Tito the UFC and Dana are oppressing and taking advantage of you.
Eventually Tito realized those people were fools who had not the slightest clue how much he should be paid.
Someday Demetrious Johnson, Eddie Alvarez and Jon Jones might realize the same.
If they haven't already.
...
I'm for fighters being paid what they deserve.
This fake news storyline about every fighter in the UFC deserving to be paid what Conor or Floyd makes is a sad joke.
Its like someone going to the NBA and telling every player they should be making Michael Jordan or Shaq money. It should be obvious to everyone, that's not how things work.

MMA fighter pay is simple. The more pay per views you sell, the more money you make.
If you're the big draw in match ups listed above you get paid.
If not you don't.
If Demetrious Johnson or Jon Jones don't get paid as much, its cuz they don't sell PPVs.
People aren't doing them any favors putting lies in their heads, making them think they should be paid more than they've earned.
...
"Demetrious Johnson and Jon Jones didn't sell 2.4 million pay per views. BUT they should be paid as if they had."
Wtf is that ^

178 Johnson v Cariaso 205K
186 Johnson v Horiguchi 125K
191 Johnson v Dodson 2 115K

I doubt any 125er will ever draw tons of buys
