Henry Cejudo believes UFC champion Jon Jones has earned the right to ask for a massive payday to fight Tom Aspinall.
Interim heavyweight champion Aspinall has been eagerly awaiting his title-unification bout with Jones, but it’s yet to materialize. With Daniel Cormier claiming that Khabib Nurmagomedov once turned down the UFC’s $40 million offer to come out of retirement, Cejudo thinks Jones should be offered a similar amount to fight Aspinall.
Joe Rogan said Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) wants $30 million to fight Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) – which he later retracted after UFC CEO Dana White reached out to him to deny the claim. Cejudo thinks “Bones” should use that number as leverage.
