Jon Jones tweets and deletes praise for Jake Paul’s KO, fight purse

Recently Jake Paul bashed UFC President Dana White on fighter pay, complaining that he was able to make more money boxing Ben Askren than 99% of White’s UFC roster will ever see fighting in MMA.

Also in Paul’s message to White was a plea to book Jon Jones versus Francis Ngannou for the UFC heavyweight title. “Pay them their fair share,” wrote Paul. “$10m purse for each guy, plus PPV.”

After Paul’s critique of White and UFC pay structures, Jones—no stranger to dissent when it comes to what ZUFFA pays its athletes—posted a curious tweet.
