Jon Jones admitted that the eight-figure amount he reportedly refused is real.
It’s been a difficult period for the UFC heavyweight division. Before Tom Aspinall’s no-contest against Ciryl Gane in October further delayed things, the weight class had been stuck with an inactive champion who refused to face his interim counterpart.
In over two years as champion, Jones’ victory over Stipe Miocic marked his only defense of the heavyweight title. After that bout, which came despite Aspinall’s presence as interim champ, Jones refused to unify the belts against the Englishman.
It was rumored that the leading GOAT candidate had turned down $30,000,000 for the fight. He recently confirmed this figure, explaining why it wasn’t enough.
