Many have raised their voices on social media about their frustration with UFC pay, and recently Sean Strickland also slammed the promotion over its payroll. Michael ‘Venom’ Page, who was recently dropped from the roster, has signed a deal with Misfits. It was a major turning point in MVP's career, and after joining, he revealed a massive update on his pay hike.

Michael 'Venom' Page Claims Misfits Deal Will Pay Him Double His UFC Earnings

Michael Page says he landed a massive deal with Misfits after leaving the UFC. According to MVP, he will be making seven figures per fight and could earn more from just three fights than he did during his entire UFC run.

"I've left the UFC and I'm making more money. Like two times more, maybe just over, and in a shorter period. In a three-fight deal, I'll make more than I have my whole UFC contract," the 39-year-old was told to Ariel Helwani.

Misfits has fewer events throughout the year, but it is generating more eyeballs now, and many fighters are looking to make the transition. Recently, Sean Strickland also talked about moving to boxing, saying he doesn't feel motivated to compete given the low pay.

Sean Strickland Slams UFC Fighter Pay, Says He Wants To Leave For Boxing

Sean Strickland says he is frustrated with the UFC and wants to move into boxing. He believes the promotion doesn't pay fighters enough to retire comfortably, forcing them to keep fighting even when their legacy is at risk. In a recent video, the middleweight champion said:

"I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud that nobody says... the just doesn't care anymore. They don't pay you enough money to walk away. The UFC builds a legacy, they don't pay you enough so you have to come back and ruin your legacy.”

Strickland said he is trying to work out a move to boxing, but it still depends on whether the UFC allows him to do it. Meanwhile, many MMA stars are suggesting that the promotion cannot afford to lose a star like ‘Tarzan.’ However, Strickland is also hoping to get a new deal with better terms.
