Former UFC middleweight kingpin Sean Strickland has given his opinion on why the UFC hires more Dagestani and Brazilian fighters over American fighters.
In a recent conversation with Adin Ross, 'Tarzan' said that the problem with the UFC is that they don't pay enough to American fighters. As a result, the majority of the roster consists of non-English-speaking individuals and is predominantly foreign. Strickland said:
"The problem with the UFC dude, they don't pay guys sh*t, so like the reason why you've seen everybody in the roster are... Jose and whatever Brazilian name is because the UFC doesn't pay anybody money. So I think what you're gonna have is an entire roster filled with just foreigners... It's fun to go watch two fu**king Dagestani cavemen fight, but at some point, they are not American."

"They don't have American beliefs, they don't have American ideals. So at some point when the whole fu**ing roster doesn't speak English because the UFC is so fu**ing cheap and not paying anybody anything. They pay the top 5 pretty good, but they don't pay like you'd make more money working in a Walmart for a year."
