Colby Covington came to the UFC’s defense when Sean Strickland criticized fighter pay. Strickland (29-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) advocated for better pay in the UFC , and the starting $10,000 show and $10,000 win purses “criminal.” UFC fighter pay has been a hot topic for years, but Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) thinks former champion Strickland isn’t in a position to make such remarks after the company financially put him in a much better position. “My thoughts are, Sean changed his life, so he’s kind of hypocritical to be saying this,” Covington said on SOSCAST w/ Adam Sosnick .
