I like Cormier and Pettis tonight.

A reminder that UFC fighters are being paid nickels on the dollar relative to other sports because they have been kept from unionizing. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/empowering-mma-fighters/ …

Every other major sport has a union - NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL. Players get 47 - 51 percent of revenue. In the UFC it’s closer to 10 percent. The sport is tougher and more dangerous too. I will empower the fighters as President.

Replying to @AndrewYang @BarbarianCap
May be more complicated than that. Mayweather earned over 50%, $275 million, from a single bout without a union.pic.twitter.com/dRvqFKTmeA

There are 30 teams in the NBA, maybe a better comparison would be the top 30 winningest UFC fighters. I'm not sure you can compare major repeatable team sports to one-off single fighting sports like the UFC.

The MLS has a players' union. 28% of revenue. The % of revenue enjoyed the players is not just a function of unionization, but of replaceability. The less replaceable any player is, the more leverage they have in negotiations, regardless if as a union or solo.pic.twitter.com/HMfXMMqaRY

Also, you're wrong about automation. It's China that took America's jobs.
