Dana White claims Jones demands $30 million to fight Ngannou; Jon issues denial

Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou seems like the bout that everyone wants to see right now, with both fighters and fans asking for the super-fight. It doesn’t seem to be anywhere close to being finalized though, as money still seems to be the sticking point.

Dana White doesn’t seem interested at all in giving Jones a good pay bump, and the UFC President has now gone on to claim that the long time light heavyweight champion is demanding $30 million.

“What we do is every Saturday night I put on fights and whoever wants to fight, we’ll make it and we’ll put ‘em in there,” White said (transcript via MMA Fighting).
