Francis Ngannou advised to consider his UFC future over "joke" $600,000 purse

Former UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt has told Francis Ngannou to reconsider his future in the promotion after being paid just $600,000 for his first title defence.

The former fighter was never champion during his career with the promotion, and never even challenged for the belt, but on two recorded occasions earned a higher purse than Ngannou's base for taking on Ciryl Gane at UFC 270.

And Hunt has told Ngannou he must take a stand after earning what amounts to less than a slight fraction of his boxing counterparts Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
