The coach of Jon Jones, Mike Winkeljohn, would if his opinion about Jon Jones asked UFC to raise the match to participate in the match against Francis Ngannou. According to Winkeljohn, with what Jon Jones will contribute, UFC will not go anywhere.
“The match between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou is likely to be no less than the big matches of Floyd Mayweather,” Mike Winkeljohn commented.
“How much does Floyd Mayweather collect? Hundreds of millions? Sure, because Floyd Mayweather is his own boss.
Showed that he was very confident in Jon Jones's charm, coach Mike Winkeljohn asserted that UFC was the ones who were pleading with Jon Jones.
“I think the match Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou can fully earn a size of $ 50 million. It is enough for UFC to pay a lot of debt and still have money to organize the next events.”
“UFC needs a superstar like Jon Jones. I believe that Conor McGregor is the superstar of the tournament for a while, but he no longer attracts customers as before. UFC must have a new superstar to make money.”
The relationship between Jon Jones and UFC – Dana White is very tense in recent days, when Jon Jones is determined to refuse to take the upper radio with Francis Ngannou at the price he thinks is too little.
UFC President Dana White also refused to fit, he told Jones directly that he would let Francis nunnou protect the belt before Derrick Lewis if Jones kept not signing a contract.
