Another UFC Title Contender Joins Kendra Lust, Nate Diaz, & Terrance McKinney in Criticizing Dwayne Johnson’s Controversial Deal With UFC

After Kendra Lust, Nate Diaz, and Terrance McKinney, another UFC fighter has now criticized Dwayne Johnson’s shoe deal with the UFC

Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Project Rock‘ shoe deal with the UFC has been a hot topic since the start of the year. The former WWE superstar inked a deal for his shoe line with the UFC for it’s fighter’s to wear during the fight week.

However, the deal isn’t appreciated by a lot of fighters. While some suggests the shoe’s aren’t that good, a few fighters have even called out the exploitative nature of the deal. It is worth noting that the deal was made with the UFC and not with the fighters.

The multi-year deal between Dwayne Johnson and the UFC are only benefitting the two parties and not the fighters. While the fighters are forced to wear the footwear, they don’t get paid to do so.
