Dana White Calls Out Sean Strickland for Lying About His UFC Pay

UFC CEO Dana White dismissed Sean Strickland's complaints regarding his UFC pay, stating that the figures the fighter has cited publicly are not true. Speaking after Week 10 of Dana White's Contender Series Season 10, White pointed out that Strickland recently agreed to a brand new contract in May, expressing frustration over the middleweight champion's continued financial complaints so soon after signing.

Strickland has expressed dissatisfaction on social media and suggested exploring opportunities outside mixed martial arts, including lucrative crossover boxing bouts against Jake Paul or Jai Opetaia. However, Strickland reportedly still has five fights remaining on his current UFC contract, and White has maintained that contracted UFC fighters are barred from pursuing external boxing matches.
