Khamzat Chimaev believes Francis Ngannou needs to wait for better paydays to "come" amid his dispute with the UFC.
UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou hasn't fought since defending his crown against Cyril Gane in January, having suffered torn knee ligaments prior to the victory. Alongside his injury woes, the Cameroon star has been embroiled in a contract dispute with the UFC and has been demanding an improvement on his current contract terms.
Some of Ngannou's demands on his new deal are believed to include a clause to re-negotiate terms after every fight, as well as a possible release for potential boxing opportunities alongside his UFC exploits. However UFC star Chimaev has dismissed the fighter pay issue within the promotion and believes fighters should look at where they were 20 years prior to beginning their career.
