Brendan Allen Addresses Sean Strickland's UFC Pay Dispute
Brendan Allen recently commented on Sean Strickland's ongoing pay dispute with the UFC following his victory over Christian Leroy Duncan at UFC Vegas 122. Strickland, the UFC middleweight champion, is seeking higher pay before agreeing to defend his title against Nassourdine Imavov and is considering various options, including vacating his title or moving to boxing due to dissatisfaction with his current earnings.
During the post-fight press conference, Allen expressed his gratitude for his own pay but acknowledged the broader issue of fighter compensation. He praised Strickland for advocating for better pay, noting that many fighters are underpaid according to available statistics. Despite his support for Strickland's stance, Allen emphasized his contentment with his current earnings and expressed a desire to avoid any negative repercussions from UFC management.
Allen, who has now won four consecutive fights, also called for a matchup against former middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis, indicating his ambition to continue climbing the ranks in the UFC.
