Cung Le Says He Got Paid Like Sh*t From The UFC

August 26, 2016 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Cung Le recently spoke with FightHub TV, here are the highlights…

On MMA Needing Collective Bargaining: “It’s just a matter of time. It has to happen. You can’t have promoters take advantage of fighters. That’s just wrong. The UFC sold for $4 billion – 4.2 sorry – and Dana White’s made more than all the fighters in UFC history combined. That’s just wrong. Good for him but it’s not right.”

On Getting Paid Like Shit For TUF China: “Everything I do I work hard. Whether I get paid like shit which – Ultimate Fighter China, I wasn’t a coach. I was the Dana White over there. I held it down. You see Dana White talking on ESPN News that if it wasn’t for me that show would have went under, belly up. I got paid like shit.”

On Feeling Responsible For The UFC Being Sold For So Much: “If you think about it, with my effort and what the UFC China crew did out in China, we created enough awareness to have a Chinese investor bid for $4 billion and that’s why William Morris came on and outbid them for 4.2 [billion]. If I was never in the picture, if all these different shows would have never happened, what kind of outcome would have happened for Dana and for the Fertitta brothers. They wouldn’t have had this outcome.”
