UFC News Round Up: Francis Ngannou calls out Anthony Joshua
The UFC community is in a frenzy when Francis Ngannou, the current UFC Champion, renounced his title and left the company over contractual issues. Francis Ngannou recently called out Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in an interview with Ariel Helwani. After passing up an $8 million UFC contract, Ngannou disclosed his plans to fight in boxing.
He simultaneously declared, “I want to face the best boxers,” calling out the sport’s luminaries. “Fury may have retired and then returned. I don’t know. It’s time, but I have no idea where Fury is. Before, we could only engage in social media activity and nothing more. I’ll take it, whatever it is, as long as Tyson Fury is involved. We’ll decide that Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua would be my first dream opponent. I have no trouble fighting with 4 oz gloves. “
Joe Rogan questions about a 12,000 years old Cosmic impact
NASA recently uncovered a gigantic crater measuring 19 miles (31 km) in width under the Hiawatha Glacier in Greenland. This crater results from an asteroid collision with a roughly one-mile-wide mountain of iron traveling at around 12 miles per second, or more than 43,000 miles per hour, and weighing somewhere between 11 and 12 billion tonnes. When it collided with the planet some 12,000 years ago, it did so with the incredible force of a 700-megaton bomb. This was suggested as supporting the Younger Dryas impact theory, and UFC commentator Joe Rogan tweeted about it.

UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill possible payout
The main event of UFC 283 will feature the highly anticipated contest between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill for the vacant light-heavyweight championship. Not to mention that Teixeira vs. Hill will be the focus of attention given the controversy surrounding the division’s most recent title match, which saw Jan Bachowicz square off against Magomed Ankalaev and resulted in a draw. Let’s look at the game’s prize money and other payouts since it will be highly observed.
Total Reporter estimates that Teixeira’s base pay will be 5 lakh dollars, while Hill’s basic pay will be 2 lakh dollars. Teixeira and Hill will also earn PPV payouts of $300k and $100k, respectively. Finally, Teixeira might get $800k, and Hill could make $300k. Undoubtedly, the fight will display the clash of two very distinct fighting philosophies. Watching who will seize the empty championship will surely be exciting.
