Dana White and the higher-ups in the UFC have been under a lot of scrutiny from some of their own fighters as well as other figures in the world of MMA for the last few years in relation to how they pay their fighters.

This scrutiny has been accelerated ever since Jake Paul made his boxing debut and immediately started calling out White for the payment of his UFC fighters and saying that they should be getting paid a lot more for the amount the company makes.

Despite the scrutiny, UFC bantamweight Nathaniel Wood has actually come out and defended the UFC and the way they pay their roster.
