It’s utterly heartbreaking to hear about Ryan Curtis, and I can’t believe another Irish MMA fighter finds themself in this position.

“That’s Dana’s money bro. He worked hard for it. If the fighters don’t like it, they should just negotiate a better deal!” 🤡
Meanwhile, the UFC are lobbying to ensure fighters have as few rights and protections as possible👇
While Dana White is handing out stacks of cash to his mates, UFC are paying firms to lobby on their behalf regarding The Right to Organize Act of 2021.
If this bill passes through the US Senate, it could give UFC fighters more rights and protection.
