In a recent statement, Hearn highlighted the 'frightening' nature of the contracts he has seen during his time in the sport.

Hearn's insight into the MMA industry serves as a reminder that professional athletes must be prepared to navigate complex and restrictive contracts.

As the world of mixed martial arts continues to evolve, Hearn's statement underscores the need for athletes to prioritize their careers and take control of their contractual agreements.
