Dana White has doubled down on his claim about Jon Jones asking for ‘an obscene amount of money’ to fight Francis Ngannou, urging the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion to reveal his initial asking price.
“Let me just put it this way. Jon Jones wasn’t asking for $5 million more dollars; he was asking for an obscene amount of money. And if Jon Jones wants to speak publicly and say what the number was, that’s up to him,” White said on a recent episode of First Take.
White’s comments come after Jones accused the UFC president of lying about the negotiation process.
