According to a tweet from Michael Benson based on an interview Ngannou did with the ‘Last Stand Podcast’, the former UFC fame revealed that his earnings from the Fury fight are more than his entire MMA career earnings put together.

Naturally, fans were quick to take their astonishment to the comment section.
