Francis Ngannou is one of the top MMA fighters in the world. The former UFC champion dominated the heavyweight division during his time in the UFC. Last month, he signed a huge deal with PFL which shocked the entire MMA world. This came as a shock for many as Ngannou also became a stakeholder in PFL which allowed him many privileges. However, his deal also assures a guaranteed $2 million fight money for his opponent as well. Recently, ONE Championship Heavyweight Champion Arjan Bhullar gave his thoughts on ONE fighters can also get similar deals to Francis Ngannou. Follow UFC News Updates with InsideSports.IN
Arjan Bhullar gave an exclusive interview to InsideSport.IN where he talked on various topics. During the interview, the heavyweight champion was asked if ONE Championship fighters could earn deals similar to PFL’s Ngannou. He also claimed that ONE was ready to get Ngannous on board but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.
He said, “Sure, we were right there with the money for Francis to bring him over. But for whatever reason, he didn’t feel comfortable coming to an agent based promotion. He wanted to stay in North America. And he made a decision with that. But when it comes to money, Chatri bossman he’s got a big chequebook.”
