Jackson claims the
UFC changed his contract to make him earn less.
Jackson (37-14) won the UFC light heavyweight title with an iconic
knockout in a rematch against Chuck
Liddell in 2007. Jackson claims to have made $7 million for his
win over Liddell. However, Liddell recently accused the UFC of
changing his contract without his knowledge, after they found out
about his earnings from the fight.

“When they found out I made that $7 million, I’m gonna say it –
they changed my contract without me knowing,” Jackson said on Adin
Ross’ Kick stream. “… Because they bought my contract from another
organization.”
Jackson was a massive draw at
Pride Fighting Championships in Japan and carried over his
stardom to the UFC. The UFC had to buy Jackson’s contract from the World Fighting
Alliance when they acquired the promotion in 2006. Jackson
believes the UFC wasn’t initially aware that his contract
guaranteed him pay-per-view dividends, which kept trickling in for
years after his knockout win over Liddell. “Rampage” had several
falling outs with the UFC over the years and finally parted ways
with the promotion after fighting out his contract in
2015.
