UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou asked “What are we doing wrong?” And Paulo Costa called his a $350,000 offer from the UFC a ‘joke’ compared to what YouTubers are making in exhibition fights.
UFC President Dana White recently spoke with UFC Arabia about the current trend in celebrity boxing. His facetious take on the issue included some fantasy match-making with his most dominant champion and one of the world’s most famous people.
