UFC star Johnny Case (21-4) recently vented to MMAmania.com about the UFC’s Reebok sponsorship deal. Here is what he said:
‘I’m definitely not happy with it financially. We really don’t have much ground to stand on. In my first three fights, or rather in my third fight in Mexico City, I made six times the amount [of money] what Reebok is going to pay me, and that was only in my third fight. It would have only gone up from there. I think they’re on the right track and to make us look more like professional athletes, like the NBA and the NFL.
Case will be fighting Yan Cabral on November 7, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 77.
