Matt Brown Backs Rousey’s UFC Pay Dispute: Personal Grudge or Real Issue?

Matt Brown weighed in on Ronda Rousey’s public criticism of the UFC on The Fighter vs. The Writer. He admits he never thought he’d defend her, but he understands her anger. Brown points to the UFC’s move away from pay-per-view as the root of Rousey’s frustration. She lost her biggest paydays and ultimately signed with Netflix for the Gina Carano bout on May 16 under Most Valuable Promotions. While Brown agrees fighter pay is a valid concern, he believes Rousey’s attacks are more personal than reform-driven. He calls her recent comments a bit of a “pity party,” but also says she’s not entirely wrong. In the end, Brown hopes Rousey uses her platform to push for wider change in MMA. He’ll support her as long as she keeps raising the right issues.
