Daniel Cormier has his reservations concerning Jon Jones‘ reported stake to face off with Tom Aspinall in a title unification conflict later this yr — claiming color-commentator, Joe Rogan could also be off in his estimate of a possible $30million payday.
Cormier, a former two-division champion underneath the banner of the promotion, twice confronted off with Rochester native, Jones throughout their respective gentle heavyweight stints, collaborating in a pair of heated championship grudge fights.
As for Jones, the present heavyweight kingpin has been closely linked with a title unification conflict with present interim heavyweight champion, Aspinall as quickly as a blockbuster summer season showdown, with the above-mentioned, Rogan claiming a possible $30million pay out is being sought.
“I think it’s [Jon Jones’ next fight] gonna be [against] (Tom) Aspinall, I think they’re trying to come to some sort of agreement,” Joe Rogan mentioned on his podcast. “The rumour is that he wants $30 million and the UFC is going to pay it. Hopefully. I hope they pay it,”
Daniel Cormier uncertain Jon Jones lands reported $30million payday
Nonetheless, in response to Cormier, Rogan’s estimations could also be huge of the mark, with the Corridor of Fame star skeptical that Jones truly lands that top of a payday to tackle Aspinall this annum.
“(Joe) Rogan thinks that the UFC is gonna pay it,” Daniel Cormier instructed on his YouTube channel. Rogan thinks that the UFC can pay the $30 million to get Jon Jones in there with Tom Aspinall. I’m unsure he will get to 30, however for those who ask for 30 and also you get 20 otherwise you get 15, that’s a win for Jon Jones.”
Sidelined since headlining UFC 309 again in November, Jones would defend his heavyweight title for the primary time in a dominant, eventual third spherical knockout win over common-foe and former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic — sending the Ohio native into retirement at Madison Sq. Backyard.
