Video: Will the UFC pay Jon Jones $30 million to fight Tom Aspinall? No way
How's this for an "overreaction"? There’s no way the UFC pays Jon Jones $30 million to fight Tom Aspinall.
Jones made it clear after UFC 309 that he needed "f*ck you money" in order to unify the heavyweight championship with Aspinall, otherwise he might be content to ride off into the sunset of retirement. Recently Joe Rogan said on his "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast that Jones asked the UFC for $30 million, only to later clarify that he was mistaken for sharing the false rumor after he received a phone call from Dana White.
That's a lot of money for one UFC fight, $30 million. Is there any chance the UFC pays Jones that much?
MMA Junkie's Simon Samano and Farah Hannoun discussed Jones' negotiation with the UFC on the latest edition of "Overreaction Time."
