According to foreign media reports, UFC heavyweight champion Predator Francis Nagano has rejected a new contract worth 5 million pounds and does not plan to renew his contract with UFC's old owner Bai Dana. Unless Bai Dana agrees, he will form a cross-border battle with WBC heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Furie, which is the only reason for him to renew his contract with the UFC.
It is clear that Nagano is threatening Bethana and wants to take the route of Mouth Cannon Connor McGregor, because the mouth cannon Connor and boxing superstar Mayweather have staged a much-anticipated battle and achieved great success.
It is reported that the contract between Nagaano and the UFC expired in December this year. That is to say, Nagaano can only fight one more defending battle before the contract expires, after which he is free.
In a recent interview, Nagano announced that his renewal with the UFC was conditional, saying: "The match against Tyson Furie must be part of the contract and I will not agree to a contract extension if I can't fight Furi." If I just renew my contract as usual, basically the same as before, I'm done. ”
Nagaano continued: "This has never happened. So we have to find a way to write my big fight with Furi into the contract. I think playing at the UFC is a good promotion for me and I want to keep fighting. The crossover battle with Tyson Furie wasn't the last of my career. After I'm done playing Furi, I can play with Bone Jon Jones or three times with other people. ”
Judging from the words of the Predator Nagano, he was threatening Bai Dana, but he was not very tough. His words are also soft in the middle with rigidity, rigid with soft. It not only expresses the desire to fight with Furi, but also expresses the attachment to the UFC, leaving room for it. So he kicked the ball to Bai Dana and saw if Bai Dana agreed to match him and Tyson Furie.
Previously, Connor's popularity in the UFC was unmatched and could override the ordinary rules of the UFC, but Nagaano seemed to be almost meaningless. He couldn't compare it to the mouth cannon. His honorarium for playing Gayne last game was $500,000, which was not as good as Tyson Fury's $33 million.
We must admit that the influence of MMA mixed martial arts, honoraria and professional boxing, or small witches, the same are heavyweight boxers, are champions, Nagaano even won 1 million dollars is a luxury, Tyson Fury can eat and drink spicy, earn tens of millions of dollars, you say, iron blood can not be hot?
At the age of 35 and nearly 36, Nagano knows that there are not many peaks left for him, especially now that he is still in charge of the title of heavyweight champion, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit is the best policy.
90-year-old boxing promoter Arum believes that the cross-border battle between Tyson Fury and Nagaano will surpass the match between Mouth Cannon Connor and Mayweather, believing that the influence will be unprecedented. I don't know what Bai Dana thinks. Will he accede to the iron-blooded request? We'll see what happens. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
