Dana White ruffled some feathers in a big way recently with his comments to GQ about fighter pay.

The UFC’s heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, went off with his comments this week about what fighting in the UFC has cost him. And former middleweight champ Luke Rockhold, who returns at UFC 281 on Saturday after a layoff of more than three years, said White’s too controlling and is holding the sport back in the process.
