"I'm broke so I need to fight" -- top 10 ranked fighter in the most prestigious fight promotion in the world

Jared doesn’t look like the gambiling/stripclub type, no reason he should be broke. Pay the fighters.

Cannonier is such a humble and disciplined athlete. Great r-model for the younger generation. Hope he gets that title shot!

As soon as he said “well… I’m broke…” DCs ear piece must have blown up…”oh lord! wraaaaapp it up, leaaavvee!!” Lol 😂 it’s a shame that he had to say such a personal thing that hits home so hard, publicly. The old saying, You don’t ask you don’t get… issue is you ask and you get side lined… so you gotta say stuff like this to throw out hints. I hope the UFC sort something out for this guy. No one in the UFC should be broke.

Cannonier: “I’M BROKE” D.C: “😄”

Uncle Dana, take care of your top fighters. pay up bro.

Number 3 ranked fighter should never have to say he needs more fights cause he's broke. Pay your fighters, Dana. Anything less than 50% is bullshit EDIT: For those who think he's broke because of poor money management or because he hasn't fought in a year... In his last fight, he made $86k and in this fight, he took home $161k. Sounds like a lot right? No. Keep in mind the taxes that are taken from this, and he has to pay for his 6+weeks of camp, his coaches, his flights, and any medical procedures that occur outside the octagon. UFC does not give medical care to their fighters outside the octagon. They are technically contractors. HERES THE KICKER: For the NBA and NFL, roughly 50% of revenue goes to the athletes. The UFC, it's 16%. Don't blame money management, blame the UFC. These men and women are risking their lives for 16% and no union.

It looked like it was raining on Cannonier.

In this fight I realized that once Kelvin couldn’t get Cannonier to the ground that he was screwed. You’re fighting a guy who is bigger, hits harder, has a longer reach and he’s able to take your shots no problem. No way Kelvin was winning this.

Kelvin Gastelum is always there to save the day and help thank you for everything Kelvin, I didn’t want to see Kelvin lose. Kelvin is always a real fighting warrior. ✊

Dude looks like he ran 6 hours through rain he gives it all everytime I love Jared

is it just me or Kelvin just never improved since the Adelasagna fight?

3-2 Cannonier, and he nearly flatlined Kelvin in round 3 I believe.

Too many 🌮’s is why he’s not at 170. But amazing fight nonetheless, fighters really should be getting paid more.

Ufc needs to start doing something about This fighters pay so they can horn their skills and focusing on winning instead of worry about a 9-5 job to stay up flow

FIGHTERS UNION ASAP THEY SHOULD BE MAKING 30% OF THE PURSE.

kelvin isnt bad by any means at MW but i really wish he would just get disciplined and go down to WW

He is a very nice guy I like his humbleness …

UFC needs to have a salary for the top 25 in each division

'I'm broke so I need to fight' I'm sure there's lots I don't know/understand BUT doesn't seem right a ranked fighter like him should have to say that in the biggest fight organization in the world

Wow, so real and honest. Really refreshing to hear the true mindset of these guys. Sucks bc the smart thing to do is wait for the winner of adesanya v whittaker but he probably can’t wait that long

Kinda awkward how DC just kinda walks off as he’s finishing the interview.

Jared is just so well spoke. What an articulate gentleman..and a great fighter too

Jared, you sir are a great fighter and would be a great champion.

Jared -went from heavyweight to middleweight Gestalum-welterweight to middleweight yet he has to take extra hrs to cut weight. It shows how some fighters are really whole heartedly dedicated to the sports

at this point kelvin should just move up to heavyweight if he likes eating so much he needs discipline but he just cant control it i dont see him moving to welterweight especially since he's missing weight in middleweight so kelvin is just in a bad place right now as far as i can see he just needs to get it together

Honest fighter interviews are rare

He should definitely get a title shot after that performance, his footwork and switching game has gone up a few levels in the time he had off. Mans been working 💪

If Kelvin would just stop eating all the damn tacos and take his career seriously he'd be doing good

I’d love to see Izzy v Cannonier. Great matchup of styles and Jared definitely deserves to be talked about as a contender. Would be a very fun fight to watch, up there with Till v Izzy, Tills style would be a nightmare for him BUT I do think Izzy beats both.

Professional fighters saying they are broke with this much risk involved. Oh boy.

Hopefully get to see more from him! Great fighter!

He's Darren Till's worst nightmare if you know what I mean.

So many fighters lately saying they are broke. Jared, Buys, Madsen just to name a few.

I like how DC's walking out whilst closing the interview.

Canonnier is my top 5 favourite current fighters he’s super fkn talented and he’s a very good guy super humble i hope he gets his shot after the belt he deserves it

Kelvin needs to evolve, he's too predictable, and this weight class doesnt suit him he needs to be at 170

kevin gastelum need to pump the brakes he need to fight lower ranked fighters he need build back his momentum before fighting the top dogs again, fighting killers in sequences is bad for his career and his health

Cannonier and Gastelum are both beast great main event

So happy for cannonier man.

When they start to know you for your good chin it means you better change up your game or become a gatekeeper ✌🏾

No one in the top 5 in the UFC should be broke

I like Jared humble dude congratulations

Got a solid personality & character.

Most organizations are making their players/fighters get rich, but UFC is different and the fighter are making the UFC rich🤦🏼. Pay the fighters Dana💯

That 5 round war with Izzy took a toll on Kevin.

Legendary fighter. Dropped about 40 kilos during his career and now looks like Apollo with his perfect muscles. Wish him and his wife good luck.

Congratulations to Jared cannonier clearly win by decision

Kelvin really needs to drop to 170 at this point he’s so talented but giving up too much to be at 185

Did Cannonier go swimming in between rounds?

He's so likeable. I'm a huge fan

I've been a Cannonier fan ever since he waited for the Brazilians to stop booing him after the Silva fight. The man knows who he is, and what he believes, and values, and will stand up for those beliefs and values regardless of others opinions. Great role model for young men, and women alike.

Jarred just straight up out box’d Kelvin. He looked nasty tonight. Wow.

Everyone bashing Kelvin in the comments telling him to lay off food or that he needs to go to 170 to be good... he was literally interim champ and went 5 rounds with the current champ and 5 rounds with this dude, a former heavyweight monster.

Ufc can u live in yt because we cant see the live in ufc app

I was and still am a Kelvin fan, however Jared definitely won the fight and after his interview I am also a fan of his. Cool guy.

I wanna see Gastelum get cut now. Used to be one of my favourite fighters to watch but his body is a joke for a professional, he'd be a murderer at 170 and everyone knows it but him it seems

The only thing Gastelum won is cheeseburger and a small taco for an effort. Jared took 3 rounds clearly and put King of Weigh-Ins on the butt.

I like this geeza both as a fight and as a person, hopefully he'll get that money fight soon, he deserves it

Man, Gastelum just refuses to go K.O. Respect to both Fighters.

my score was 49-46 Cannonier

Рад за Канонира. очень не простая карьера, достойно выступил но чемпа не пройдет

I feel for my guy Kelvin but he's young so a lot of time for him to come back

Mannn that metallic body.......shining

Kelvin won the striking in both significant and total strikes by a decent margin.

0:09 The look of failure on Kelvin's face speaks volumes. Tried so hard and failed every time. Sorry bro.

Respect

We need to help these fighters and talk about fighter pay every chance

Just how good is Robert Whittaker 😉

Time for Kelvin to hit the undercards, just a fact now seeing he can't get to a professional level with his training and growth etc (rhetorical).

Kelvin expends more energy jumping around. He needs the head movements more and additional techniques. Imagine not being able to take cannonier down despite the advantage of takedown skills

I didn't go to work for a year once too , I was also broke.

Is Gastelum even a good win...?

Sad a top fighter in his division says he’s broke ufc be Ripping these dudes off

I love DCs interviews he always asks actual questions that are based around who hes talking to

Jared Cannonier !

*Jared is lying I made my fighters Rich, Ask Jake Paul* 😡

This was a good main event, Cannonier and Gastelum are both beast.

After having a few BJJ matches in high school and a couple kickboxing smokers I am so glad I didn’t seriously pursue fighting like I intended too at one point. I was ready to drop everything and start trying to fight for a living. I would have never got near the level of Jared.. and he’s broke, imagine what I would have been.

Cuando fue esta pelea!?

Kelvin is super tough and durable But Jared has insane power and his reach advantage is bonkers

Another weak UFC main event.

Jared a likeable guy. All zen.

Very nice finish.

Kelvin wastes too much time constantly bouncing

If JC is broke, then he should go to mma bellator, or pro boxing I heard Jones was considering going to pro boxing where I heard they pay good but at the same time no matter how much you make knowing how to manage your $$ and budget $$ is very important in order to prevent yourself from getting broke, you got to invest too as well in wherever that makes sense.

Lmaoo the thumbnail fucked me up, I thought there’s something wrong with his head

A lot of people where not expecting this guy to win.

There should be minimum pay for main card and main event fighters then pay them way more than that amount

I really hope Kelvin comes back. gj jred

I was write a comment few days before the fight and i expected this fight will be over by judgment decision and cannonier gonna win. 💪

Random but could you imagine if dc competed at 185 or 170? What if he got to jones before he was 35/36? I think he'd get more of the respect he deserves for being an immensely talented athlete.

After hearing "I'm Broke" it's just saddens me. I really hope he makes it big and makes more money.

I hate how much better and clearer his thoughts and words are over mine and he just went to war and I’m laying on a couch 🤦‍♂️

Pay the fighters!!!

Impressive

that "I'm broke" comment really hit hard

Pay the Fighters!!

I know that feeling brother LMFAO PS: I have a duck video, a chicken video, a video where i am begging for money on Twitter, a walking video, a video where i am playing with my nuts. A short with a blog ... Also a patreon

Kelvin hasn’t been the same since the Adesanya fight. He’s still tough but just not the same threat he used to be.
