Ngannou is probably the baddest man on the planet, and he believes he’s not getting paid enough for his services in the UFC. Boxing’s heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury would make around £20 Million for his next fight against Dillian Whyte, and Ngannou got only $600,000 for his last title defense against Ciryl Gane.

Ngannou’s journey from in a Sand Mine to becoming a UFC champion is nothing but unbelievable, and most critics expected him to lose his last title defense against Ciryl Gane. Not only did Ngannou dominate him, but he also showed a different part of his game and utilized his wrestling to get the job done.
