Jon Anik campaigns for Jon Jones to earn $50m per fight: ‘He deserves it’

Amid calls for a lucrative offer to take on Tom Aspinall in a title unification clash, Jon Jones has been backed to earn in the region of $50,000,000 from here on out for the remainder of his career, by UFC play-by-play lead, Jon Anik.

Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion, and a current heavyweight champion — defended his crown at UFC 309 last month, landing an eventual third round spinning back-kick knockout win over former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic in the pair’s rescheduled grudge fight.

And in the immediate aftermath of the pairing, Jon Jones played up a potential title unification pairing with current interim gold holder, Aspinall, although stressed, it would take “f*ck you” money in order for him to entertain a clash.
