Paddy Pimblett is indeed getting robbed of his money! Why didn't he ask Dana why he gets a total of $0.00 from their YouTube channel, IG, Twitter, Facebook, etc using footage of him? What about when UFC embedded invades his privacy on fight week for content? Or what about...

I think it’s important to share that The Korean Zombie said this in his parting words to Joe Rogan. He told the translator that he doesn’t think that he’s going to be fighting for the championship anymore. He wants to think about what he’s fighting for moving forward. #UFC273

Bobby Green is not happy with USADA. He bought a new house and USADA showed up at his old one. Showed up at his gym when he wasn’t there for practice at that time. But look on the bright side - they’ll give you a sick varsity jacket for compliance!

Is it because his manager prioritizes his relationship & questionable business ethics over his livelihood? I can't think of any other reason as to why he hasn't fought for him to get a much bigger % of the revenues that the UFC is making off his likeness.
