‘I got paid $950K six years ago’ - Mark Hunt blasts Francis Ngannou’s $600K ‘joke’ salary

This week, former UFC two-division Randy Couture rallied behind reigning heavyweight king Mark Hunt. Not only did “The Natural” speak out against the UFC’s practices, he also issued a warning to “The Predator” based on his own experience dealing with the company’s top brass.

“(The UFC will) drag Francis into court and try to bleed him of the money that he has accrued to his fighting. And at some point, you have to make a decision on what you want to do,” Couture told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour.

Another heavyweight legend showed his support for Ngannou.
