Several
Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters and Zuffa boxers
recently bonded over a game of paintball.
UFC fighters Alexander
Volkov, Andre Fili,
Mingyang
Zhang, Johnny
Walker and Michel
Pereira took on team Zuffa, comprising of Robert Meriwether
III, Floyd Diaz, Mark Magsayo and Jamar Talley in a game of
paintball.
While the official scores were never announced, Fili proudly
claimed that team UFC had won.
While there is no animosity between the athletes of both
organizations, UFC fighters have complained about the disparity in
pay. Zuffa recently signed Conor Benn for $15 million for a single
fight. UFC fighters were unhappy with the signing as most don’t
even make a fraction of what Benn made, despite bringing in the
lion’s share of the revenue for the parent company.
