Perfect time to change the revenue split to 46% / 54% split to be equal to the other major sports. #WeAllNeedToEat

You are 1000% correct sir. The time is now. No more excuses for 15% of the total revenue to fighters. @MMAFA https://t.co/vvBiET1nMK

1 single move that would change the sport for the best, literally overnight..

Match the revenue split to all major sports. (Close to 50/50)
