Ciryl Gane recently defeated Derrick Lewis to win the interim UFC heavyweight championship. People from all over the world have been since congratulating Gane on his victory. Now, during a recent interview, Jon Jones’ coach talked about Gane and what he thinks of the fighter. Mike Winkeljohn said, “Gane is that guy, he’s got skills. He knows how to pick people apart and change his strategy depending on who he is fighting. He’s one heck of a great fighter.” Like everyone watching, Winkeljohn seemed to be impressed by Gane’s performance against Lewis. Now, Jon Jones [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-jones/] is all set to move to the heavyweight division soon. Therefore, Submission Radio asked his coach who he thinks will be a bigger challenge for Jones, Gane, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ciryl-gane/] or Ngannou? He said, “The crazy power is always scary, freezes up a lot of people, that’s what Francis has. He is a scary, explosive guy. You know Gane can hit hard too, but again he has more tools I believe as far as fine-tuned tools. So they are different nuts for Jon to crack. They both are scary in their own way and both very beatable in their own way.” Chimaev on His UFC Return Against Li Jingliang [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-ill-show-everybody-im-the-hardest-fighter-in-the-world-khamzat-chimaev-on-his-ufc-return-against-li-jingliang/] Coach Winkeljohn clearly believes that Gane and Ngannou [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/francis-ngannou/] are both outstanding fighters. However, he is very confident that Jon Jones will beat whoever he faces in the Octagon. WHAT NEXT FOR CIRYL GANE, JON JONES, AND FRANCIS NGANNOU? Even before the interim title fight between Gane and Lewis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derrick-lewis/] was over. The UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] had made plans for the winner of that fight to face Francis Ngannou for the undisputed title next. Therefore, it seems like Ciryl Gane and Francis Ngannou will fight each other next. Jon Jones has said he won’t be returning to action in 2021. However, Dana White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/] had revealed that the next fight for Jones could be against former champion Stipe Miocic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stipe-miocic/]. However, nothing has been made official as of now.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dana White? </strong></h2>
Dana Frederick White Jr. is a name that every MMA fanatic knows. From running away from mobsters to running the biggest MMA promotion in the world, White has come a long way. An organization he and his friend Lorenzo Fertitta bought for $2 million, now stands at nearly $7-8 million.

He played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of 2024, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.

</figcaption></figure>
White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, a bouncer at an Irish bar, and as a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch drunk boxer (someone suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to head trauma injury)Â and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's parents</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents. His mother was a nurse by profession and their move to Vegas was in pursuit of a better livelihood.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her sonÂ <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Similarly,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a>Â she said,Â <em>"He's not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's wife and children</b></h2>
UFC President is married to Anne, whom he met in eighth grade, and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The couple is blessed with three children, two sons- Dana III, Aidan, and one daughter Savannah.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White's net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.

Apart from this, he also owns "Power Slap," alongside ventures inside the UFC like "Dana White's Contender Series." This surely helps him bank quite a sum, alongside his occasional big wins in gambling. For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Is Dana White the owner of UFC?</strong></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.

In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_self" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation</strong></h2>
Over the last few years, Dana White's health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left.

He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White.

He would soon make <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-why-did-dana-white-lose-so-much-weight-real-reason-behind-86-hour-water-fast-carried-out-by-the-ufc-ceo/">massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets</a>. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn't help but share it with the world.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1914362 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/NINTCHDBPICT000765320323-380x315.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="315" />

Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world's biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements</strong></h2>
A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3>Power Slap</h3>
</li>
</ul>
White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3><strong>Throw One</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,-
<ul style="list-style-type: circle">
 	<li data-sourcepos="6:5-6:88"><strong>Power Slap:</strong> The controversial slap-fighting organization.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="7:5-7:53"><strong>Ridiculousness:</strong>Â A popular comedy clip show.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="8:5-8:75"><strong>Street League Skateboarding:</strong>Â A professional skateboarding league.</li>

 	<li data-sourcepos="10:5-10:64"><strong>Travis Pastrana's NRX Rallycar:</strong>Â A rally racing series.</li>
</ul>
White's involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana White's awards and accomplishments</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Armed Forces Foundation - Patriot Award (2009)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">World MMA Awards - Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Other accomplishments - Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's foundation and charity</b></h2>
The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>'s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai.

Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s house</strong></h2>
The UFC head's first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul <b>Frank Fertitta </b>for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion.

The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection</strong></h2>
Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a 'rusted out Datsun B210.' Here are some of his prized possessions-
<ul>
 	<li>A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company</li>
 	<li>Ducati and a MV Agusta F4</li>
 	<li>A classic red Ferrari Testarossa</li>
 	<li>A black Ferrari Spider F430</li>
 	<li>1971 Plymouth Barracuda</li>
 	<li>BMW M6 Gran Coupe</li>
</ul>
Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6.

Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise.

And the pair appointed White as the President.  via Getty In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â announced a merger with WWE to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million. In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a &#8220;broken business&#8221; in 2022. Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer. Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation Over the last few years, Dana White&#8217;s health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left. He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White. He would soon make massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn&#8217;t help but share it with the world. Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world&#8217;s biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul. Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-  Power Slap  White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.  Throw One  It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,- Power Slap: The controversial slap-fighting organization. Ridiculousness:Â A popular comedy clip show. Street League Skateboarding:Â A professional skateboarding league. Nitro Circus: A live-action stunt performance group. Travis Pastrana&#8217;s NRX Rallycar:Â A rally racing series. White&#8217;s involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC. Dana White&#8217;s awards and accomplishments Armed Forces Foundation &#8211; Patriot Award (2009) World MMA Awards &#8211; Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23) Wrestling Observer Newsletter &#8211; Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16) Other accomplishments &#8211; Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009) Dana White&#8217;s foundation and charity The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ Dustin Poirier&#8216;s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims. Dana Whiteâ€™s house The UFC head&#8217;s first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul Frank Fertitta for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion. The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king. Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a &#8216;rusted out Datsun B210.&#8217; Here are some of his prized possessions- A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company Ducati and a MV Agusta F4 A classic red Ferrari Testarossa A black Ferrari Spider F430 1971 Plymouth Barracuda BMW M6 Gran Coupe Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6. Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise. How to contact Dana White?

Francis Ngannou

FRANCIS NGANNOU Francis Ngannou: Net Worth 2024, Record, Stats &amp; More LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; MARCH 27: Francis Ngannou of Cameroon reacts after his victory over Stipe Miocic in their UFC heavyweight championship fight during the UFC 260 event at UFC APEX on March 27, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Who is Francis Ngannou? Francis Ngannou is one of the scariest heavyweights on the planet. &#8220;The Predator&#8221; is known for his insane knockouts of top-ranked heavyweights in the UFC. Not only does Francis knock them out, but he also knocks them out early. It&#8217;s been ten years since Cameroon-born Francis Xavier Ngannou became a professional mixed martial arts fighter. The aspiring boxer, who made his pro-boxing debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 28 October 2023, entered the octagon for the first time on November 30, 2013, and two years later joined UFC, where he remained for the next eight years. Now, he prepares for his next fight against two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on March 8, again in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Early Life Francis Ngannou was born September 5, 1986, in a village in Batie, Cameroon. The information regarding his education or schooling remains limited. According to a website, he had to walk for about two hours to attend a school six miles from his residence. Another portal even mentioned him switching at least five schools. Anyhow, he started working in a sand quarry at age ten. As almost every fan and follower might be aware, though he could easily converse in French, over the years, Ngannou learned English as well. A few years ago, Ngannou had shared a beautiful photo of his family, three brothers, and a sister, standing around their mother, Mamma Ngannou, who divorced her husband, Emmanuel Fosso, when the future UFC Heavyweight champion was barely six. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Girlfriend The 37-year-old fighter remains a bachelor and, per available reports, doesn&#8217;t seem to be dating anyone. However, according to a July article in The Sun, UK Edition, there were rumors that he was seeing former UFC Bantamweight champion Meisha Tate, but that remains unconfirmed. Recently, there have been rumors of Kim Kardashian supposedly looking to woo the Cameroonian-French Heavyweight. Adding fuel to the fire is Ngannou&#8217;s recent suggestive exchanges on Kim Kardashian&#8217;s social media posts. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Net Worth 2024 According to the celebrity net worth, the 37-year-old Cameroonian-French fighter has, over the years, amassed a wealth that hovers in the vicinity of $5 million. Hence, it would be fair to assume that participation in the UFC contests would have formed the lion&#8217;s share of his lifetime earnings. MMA: UFC 270-Ngannou vs Gane, Jan 22, 2022 Anaheim, California, USA Francis Ngannou speaks with media following his championship victory at UFC 270 at Honda Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports, 22.01.2022 00:01:41, 17551666, NPStrans, Francis Ngannou, Honda Center, MMA PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xGaryxA.xVasquezx 17551666 There seems to be no unanimity over his take home from the MMA fights alone. While MMA Salaries cites around $3,779,500, The Sports Lite mentions around $4,179,000. Thus, averaging it at $4,000,000 would make his annual income during the eight years he was with the UFC makes it $500,000. Anyhow, according to a January article on GiveMeSport, the annual salary of Francis Ngannou varied as follows:  2015 $25,000  2016 $175,000  2017 $220,000  2018 $900,000  2019 $525,000  2020 $320,000  2021 $900,000  2022 $1,200,000  Let&#8217;s look at some of the critical paydays of Ngannou&#8217;s career. It included his base salary, the bonus for winning, and the sponsorship deal and share in the PPV subscriptions: Versus Luis Henrique, December 2015 &#8211; For his first fight under the UFC banner, Francis Ngannou took home approximately $22,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Curtis Blaydes, April 2016 &#8211; $26,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Bojan Mihajlovic, July 2016 &#8211; $30,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Anthony Hamilton, December 2016 &#8211; $124,500 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Andrei Arlovski, January 2017 &#8211; $128,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Alistair Overeem, December 2017 &#8211; $90,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Stipe Miocic, January 2018 &#8211; $530,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Derrick Lewis, July 2018 &#8211; $105,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Curtis Blaydes II, November 2018 &#8211; $255,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Cain Velasquez, February 2019 &#8211; $225,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Junior Dos Santos, June 2019 &#8211; $300,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Jairzinho Rozenstruik, May 2020 &#8211; $320,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Stipe Miocic II, March 2021 &#8211; $580,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Cyril Gane, January 2022 &#8211; $1,042,000 (PPV earnings $400,000) It would be imprudent to conclude that Francis Ngannou made his fortune entirely through mixed martial arts bouts. A close perusal across portals reveals that The Predator could have had or still has endorsement deals with Cryo Pain Relief, CBD Research Labs, Gym King Fight Division, and The Fight Game. According to Forbes, Francis Ngannou invested in the healthy snack brand PeaTos two years ago. The move made him one of the minority stakeholders in the company. Credits &#8211; Imago Finally, after his exit from the UFC this year, the Predator signed up with the Professional Fighters League, where he might receive as much as $4 million for each fight. Additionally, benefits such as chairmanship of the franchise&#8217;s African promotions and greater involvement in the athletic advisory board also appear in the offing. In contrast to his entire MMA career, sources suggest that the Cameroonian-French hard hitter will earn much more in his boxing stints. His debut in the fight format against the WBC champion,Â Tyson Fury,Â solidified his name in the heavyweight division. That Riyadh fight alone earned him a jaw-dropping $10 million, his highest paycheck ever. Through it all, his current estimated net worth in 2024 stands at an impressive $15 million (approx). For his upcoming fight against AJ, Ngannou is guaranteed to take home about $2o million, which will make his net worth significantly higher in the coming days. Francis Ngannouâ€™s MMA and Boxing Career Timeline It might be interesting for many to know that Francis Ngannou&#8217;s initial interest in combat sports remained boxing. He had always been a Mike Tyson fan. However, during his stay in Paris, France, he met another Cameroonian-French mixed martial arts fighter and now coach, Fernand Lopez Owonyebe, at his MMA Factory gym. The latter introduced him to the nuances and scope of MMA, besides allowing him to stay at the gym. By 2013, Francis Ngannou was ready and launched his professional career on November 30. The bout occurred under the French promotion 100% Fight: Contenders 20. Ngannou was on a ten-fight win streak before he faced the UFC heavyweight champion,Â Stipe Miocic. He had obliterated his previous opponents with T/KO&#8217;s and submissions. &#8216;The Predator&#8217; has one of the most devastating knockouts in the UFC againstÂ Alistair Overeem. With a resume like that, Ngannou was next in line to be the heavyweight champion. However, during his title fight against Miocic, Ngannou got overconfident, and it exposed many holes in his game. It took some effort for Ngannou to recover from the loss. His next fight with Derrick Lewis lacked action. He lost to &#8216;The Black Beast&#8217; by a unanimous decision. Many people thought Ngannou was done. However, he made an incredible comeback in his next fight against Curtis Blaydes, followed by his wins over UFC legend Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. &#8216;The Predator&#8217; has put together a 10-2Â recordÂ in the UFC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLqyRdwDzBQ&amp;ab_channel=UFC Let&#8217;s look at some of the big fights he participated in during the last five years: Versus Ciryl Gane, January 22, 2022: Francis Ngannou defeated fellow French fighter Ciryl Gane during the second title defense in Anaheim, California, unanimously.  Versus Stipe Miocic, March 27, 2021: The Predatory became the UFC Heavyweight champion, knocking out the Miocic with punches in the second round. The bout, additionally, fetched him the Performance of the Night award. The fight was equally crucial since it was the second time Ngannou and Miocic were squaring up. The first meet-up ended in a loss for the Cameroonian-French fighter&#8217;s loss. Versus Alistair Overeem, December 2, 2017: One of Francis Ngannou&#8217;s most well-recognized fights. He knocked out the dreaded, hard-hitting kickboxer Alistair Overeem with a bone-cracking left hook in the first round. It was a title eliminator that enabled him to challenge Stipe Miocic the following year. Versus Anthony Hamilton, December 9, 2016: Three years after his professional debut in the mixed martial arts world, the first-round win over the American Hamilton fetched Ngannou&#8217;s first Performance of the Night award. Given that he always wanted to try boxing before taking up mixed martial arts, The Predator finally received a chance to make a name for himself in the squared circle. Ngannou took on the undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a professional boxing match billed as &#8220;Battle of the Baddest&#8221; on October 28, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ngannou was able to knock down Fury in the third round, taking the fight all the way to the scorecards, in which the judges awarded Fury the victory in a controversial split decision (95â€“94, 96â€“93, 94â€“95). According to CompuBox, Fury outlanded Ngannou 71 to 59 in total punches, while Ngannou outlanded Fury 37 to 32 in power punches. Now, he takes on Anthony Joshua in the second match of his pro-boxing career. WATCH: Insane 20-Second Knockout by Francis Ngannou Stuns UFC 249 Francis Ngannouâ€™s Contract Though Francis Ngannou and the UFC went their separate ways in late 2022, the issues broke out a few years ago. So problems arose with The Predator facing his second career loss at the hands of Stipe Miocic in 2018. Reportedly, UFC boss Dana White was very unhappy with the outcome because the franchise considered him one of the biggest stars in the making. The reversal resulted in Francis Ngannou waiting nearly three years to receive the next shot at the UFC Heavyweight championship. But the problems persisted despite him becoming a champion as he was given marching orders to defend his titles in August of that year. Given the short time gap, Ngannou requested that the fight be postponed to September, and finally, the second title defense came about in January of 2022. Additionally, The Predator had raised concerns regarding fighter&#8217;s pay and providing other benefits such as health insurance. The two sides disagreed with his contract with the franchise ending by December 2022. Finally, the UFC passed over his one-year matching rights clause. It rendered Francis Ngannou a free agent as a result. After B.J. Penn in 2004, he became the second only champion to move out of the fight promotions company. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s Deal with the PFL On May 16, 2023, it was announced that Ngannou had signed a multi-fight deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He will be competing in their pay-per-view &#8220;super fight&#8221; division, while still being free to compete in other sports such as boxing. Ngannou also negotiated on behalf of his opponents, guaranteeing them to be paid at least $2 million. He will also be a part of PFL&#8217;s global advisory board, meant to advocate for fighters&#8217; interests, and an equity owner and chairman of the upcoming PFL Africa league. On February 22, 2024, it was announced that Ngannou would make his MMA return sometime this year against Renan Ferreira, the Heavyweight PFL winner of the PFL vs. Bellator event on February 24, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

About their partnership, Mike Tyson said, &#8220;It&#8217;s no secret I back Ngannou 100 percent in this face-off of champions. He has one hard punch, and when it lands, it&#8217;s game over. I am looking forward to working with Ngannou and supporting his transition from the Octagon to the boxing ring.&#8221; Even though Francis Ngannou doesn&#8217;t have any real-time boxing experience except for his match against Tyson Fury, during his tenure with UFC and 100% Fight earlier, he built a formidable reputation as one of the planet&#8217;s foremost punchers.

<h3 style="text-align: center">Jon Jones: Net Worth 2024, Wife and Record</h3>
<h2>Who is Jon Jones?</h2>
Jon Jones is a former UFC light heavyweight champion and the current UFC heavyweight champion. The 37-year-old is the youngest fighter to ever win a UFC championship. 'Bones' won the UFC light heavyweight title at just 23 years of age. His MMA record now stands at 26-1-0 (1 NC).
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones’ early life and family</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones was born on July 19, 1987, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">in Rochester, New York.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400">He is the second son of Arthur Jones Jr. &amp; Camille Jones. His father was a pastor at Mount Sinai Church of God in Christ in Binghamton, New York. His mother is no more. In 2017, she passed away at the age of 55 due to diabetes.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones’ father wanted him to follow his path instead of becoming a fighter. During an <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/jon-bones-jones-father-wanted-him-to-preach-not-join-ufc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with The Christian Post</a>, his father revealed that he even discouraged Jon Jones from becoming a fighter.</span>

[caption id="attachment_546110" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-546110" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210209222840/GettyImages-1204970739.jpg" alt="Jon Jones" width="1920" height="1280" /> HOUSTON, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 08: Jon Jones celebrates his victory over Dominick Reyes in their light heavyweight championship bout during the UFC 247 event at Toyota Center on February 08, 2020 in Houston, Texas.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones has two brothers, Chandler Jones and Arthur Jones, who are both football players. Chandler Jones is a professional football player and the younger brother of Jon Jones. He played college football at Syracuse University before being drafted by the New England Patriots in 2012. He has since played for the Arizona Cardinals and is considered one of the best defensive ends in the NFL.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Arthur Jones is also a professional football player and the older brother of Jon Jones and Chandler Jones. Born on June 3, 1986, in Endicott, New York, Arthur played college football at Syracuse University and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2010. He has also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Football Team.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones' brothers, Chandler and Arthur, have had a significant impact on his career. Growing up in a competitive household with two brothers who were already successful athletes, he was constantly motivated to improve his own athletic abilities. Chandler and Arthur have also provided support and guidance throughout Jon's career, helping him to stay focused and grounded.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones also had a sister, Carmen Jones, who passed away at the age of 18 due to a brain tumor.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones’ wife and children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones’ is not married. However, many did mistake him and <strong>Jessie Moses</strong> for being a married couple owing to their long relationship and the fact that they eventually got engaged. Not much is known about Jessie Moses except that she was born on</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> 12 September 1987 to Sheila Ryan. She attended the same high school as Jon Jones, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Endicott High School in New York. She then went to </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York, for her degree in Political Science.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones and Jessie Moses started dating in high school. And after over a decade of dating, Jones proposed to Moses in Easter 2013 but never got married. And back in February 2022, Jon Jones publicly announced in a now-deleted tweet that his fiancée left him soon after his arrest in 2021. But the couple seem to have set their differences aside and gotten back together. Moses was by his side when Jones won the heavyweight title on his return at UFC 285.</span>

Carmen Nicole Jones, Olivia Haven Jones, and Leah Jones are the three children Jones shares with his ex-fiancée, Jessie Moses. <span style="font-weight: 400">There is no evidence whatsoever of Jon Jones being married.</span>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-222513" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200204214214/Jon-Jones-with-wife-Jessie-Moses.jpg" alt="" width="1067" height="534" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Back in September 2021, Jon Jones was </span><span style="font-weight: 400">arrested due to a domestic violence case as he reportedly assaulted his </span><span style="font-weight: 400">fiancée Jessie Moses at the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Caesars Palace</span><span style="font-weight: 400">. This was reported when the hotel security guard called 911 and it was reported that Jessie Moses was bleeding from the nose and the mouth. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Furthermore, upon being arrested, he was charged with </span><span style="font-weight: 400">misdemeanor battery domestic violence, and injuring or tampering with a vehicle. This was not the first time that Jones has been in trouble with the law, as he has a history of legal issues, including previous arrests for driving under the influence and hit-and-run incidents.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones' Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As per several reports, Jon Jones is estimated to be worth somewhere between $10 Million-$15 Million as of 2024. He has earned around </span><span style="font-weight: 400">$14,300,000 from his UFC career. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His biggest payout during his light heavyweight days was for his rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 217 which was around $1,830,000. That number nearly doubled for his heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023. Jones earned a $2M base salary and $1.45M PPV share along with other bonuses to secure a paycheck worth a reported $3,542,000. Jones had also signed a new contract ahead of his heavyweight debut, which saw his base salary go from six digits to $2M at UFC 285.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones' career timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones was a stand-out wrestler during high school. He even got his moniker, ‘Bones’ during his school days, owing to his slim frame. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On August 9, 2008, Jon Jones made his UFC debut at UFC 87 facing <strong>Andre Gusmão</strong>, at the short notice of two weeks. In over a year and a quarter, Jones placed himself as an undefeated fighter with a perfect record of 9-0, until he fought <strong>Matt Hamil</strong> in December 2009, who handed Jones his first-ever loss. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, that served as the one and only loss ‘Bones’ has, and that too due to disqualification. Two years later, Jones faced Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua as a replacement for his training partner Rashad Evans who couldn’t fight on the scheduled mark owing to his knee injury. Jones defeated Rua by TKO in 3rd round and became the youngest-ever UFC champion at the age of 23.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Jon Jones’ run in the UFC hasn’t been all glamorous and smooth. He has been suspended several times, given his controversial life outside the Octagon. Jones was expected to defend his title in May 2015 against <strong>Anthony Johnson</strong> at UFC 187 but was stripped of his title on April 28 in connection to his hit-and-run case where he allegedly crashed a pregnant woman and fled away from the scene. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Then, in 2016, when his rematch with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/"><strong>Daniel Cormier</strong></a> was supposed to take place at UFC 200, Jones was removed from the bout by USADA for a potential doping violation and was suspended for one year. Two days after the announcement, Jones was stripped of his interim title, too.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Daniel Cormier rematch took place in 2017 instead, where Jon Jones defeated Cormier and re-captured the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. However, that win was short-lived, as USADA flagged Jones with a doping violation yet again. This forced the decision to be converted to no contest. As a result, the title was handed back to Daniel Cormier.</span>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1561575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-39-1-15.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones then made a return in 2018 against <strong>Alexander Gustafsson</strong> for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and won the bout via a 3rd round TKO. And from 2018 to 2020, Jones had a good run in the UFC, having 4 fights and winning all of them, until he got into a disagreement with Dana White in 2020.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After a disagreement with White, Jon Jones vacated the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and expressed his desire to move up to the heavyweight division and fight Francis Ngannou. However, according to Dana White, Jones asked for a sum on par with what <strong>Deontay Wilder</strong> made for his rematch with <strong>Tyson Fury</strong>, suggesting a paycheck of around $25 million-$30 million. After all the back and forth and a hiatus of over 3 years, Jon Jones made his heavyweight debut at UFC 285 against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ciryl-gane/"><strong>Ciryl Gane</strong></a> for the vacant title.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones' Injury</b></h2>
Jon Jones' first-ever heavyweight title defense was set to be a legacy battle against two-tie heavyweight champion Stip Miocic. The event would have headlined the 2023 November PPV, UFC 295, at the Madison Square Garden. Unlucky for Jones, he tore his pectoral tendon in training in October, a few weeks out from the fight. Further tests showed that the UFC champion would require surgery and be out for at least eight months.

Dana White announced the same via social media and pit Serghei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall for an interim heavyweight title fight at UFC 295 as replacement. But the UFC boss never dropped the idea of Jones vs. Miocic and their fight has now been rescheduled for UFC 309 in November at Madison Square Garden.
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones contract</b></h2>
When Dana White announced Jon Jones' return with a heavyweight debut, he mentioned one other thing. At the UFC Vegas 67 post-fight press conference, the UFC CEO said Jones had signed an eight-fight deal in a new contract with the UFC. This meant Jones would likely finish his fighting career under Dana White's promotion.

The new contract also saw Jones earning a reported $2M as base salary on his return. His previous base salary was estimated to be in the ballpark of $500K. What's even more interesting was that Dana White jumped at an opportunity to cross-promote an MMA fight between Jon Jones and Tyson Fury, something he was not entertaining before. In fact, the pair even had a tiff over Jon Jones asking for boxing money (8-figure paychecks) to fight Francis Ngannou while the latter was the heavyweight champion.
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones's partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones had a number of deals with major brands such as Reebok, Nike, GAT Supplements, Monster Energy, and Gatorade.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Reebok terminated the deal with ‘Bones’ after his hit-and-run case. Similarly, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Nike’s deal has been officially terminated after Jones’ brawl with Daniel Cormier. However, Jones maintained that Nike didn’t drop him. In fact, they wanted to keep him on board for the remainder of the contract but it was his decision to discontinue, and hence, he respectfully declined the deal.</span>

<h3 style="text-align: center">Who is Stipe Miocic?</h3>
<strong>Stipe Miocic</strong> is the most successful heavyweight in UFC history with four title defenses across two reigns. His records at the heaviest weight class have earned him the UFC heavyweight GOAT status among many. When Miocic is not fighting some of the scariest fighters in MMA, he saves lives as a fireman in Cleveland. As of November 2024, he sits at #8 in the UFC men's heavyweight rankings.
<h3 style="text-align: center">Stipe Miocic’s early life</h3>
The two-time UFC heavyweight champion was born on August 19, 1982 in Independence, Ohio, USA. He was born and raised in Euclid Ohio and his parents are Croatian. His parents divorced when he was a toddler and his mother Kathy raised him while his father Bojan moved to Austria. <em>“I was a mama’s boy. </em><em>She’s awesome, a great lady”</em> - he told UFC.com. In fact, he had not seen their homeland until 2015, when he went there to train with Croatian UFC legend Mirko Cro Cop.

In 2019, after he reclaimed the heavyweight title from Daniel Cormier, Miocic revealed his father had beaten cancer. <em>“I’m so happy for you, dad. I got this belt, this is for you OK... </em><em>My dad just got cleared of cancer, by the way, today. How awesome is that, right? He acted like it was no big thing. He’s like, ‘Oh I’m clear’.”</em>
<h3 style="text-align: center">Stipe Miocic’s wife and kids</h3>
On June 18, 2016, Stipe Miocic married his longtime girlfriend Ryan Marie Carney. They welcomed their first child, daughter Meelah Grace, in 2018, two weeks after Miocic's first fight against Daniel Cormier at UFC 226. Ahead of his rematch against Francis Ngannou at UFC 260, the couple revealed they were expecting their second. On August 28, 2021, they welcomed their son Mateo Cruz.

Miocic's wife is a nurse by profession. She has also reportedly worked as a hairstylist and a cosmetology instructor before taking on nursing training. The couple started dating seven years after they first met because they were both in other relationships. They went public in 2013 and got married in 2016 at the Divine Word Catholic Church, Ohio.

After becoming the heavyweight champion in 2016, his paychecks are likely to have been seven-digit figures, considering base pay, win bonuses, and PPV shares. He earned a reported $750K for the first Daniel Cormier fight and just above a million dollars in the trilogy match at UFC 252, which is also his biggest paycheck to date. This figure is tied with his earnings for the Francis Ngannou rematch at UFC 260. According to MMA Salaries, he has earned around $8,127,000 fro his MMA fights.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Stipe Miocic’s career timeline</span></h3>

On October 8, 2011, he made his UFC debut against Joey Beltran. He went 3-0 in the UFC before his maiden loss against Stefan Struve in September 2012.

He would put together another 3-fight winning run, including a win over Roy Nelson, before losing a decision to Junior Dos Santos in December 2014. And after that, Miocic went on his legendary run of, winning six on the trot, including a title bout and successful defenses.

After first-round KO wins over Mark Hunt and Andrei Arlovski, Miocic fought the former champion, <strong>Fabricio Werdum</strong>, in UFC 198 in Brazil for the heavyweight title where he shocked the world by knocking 'Vai Cavalo' out in the first round. The firefighter from Cleveland would then defend his title against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alistair-overeem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alistair Overeem</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/francis-ngannou/">Francis Ngannou</a>, and Junior Dos Santos and write his name in the history books for most consecutive title defenses in the heavyweight division. Of these six opponents since the loss to Dos Santos the first time around, only Francis Ngannou went to a decision; the rest were all done in one by 'Stone Cold.'

Miocic lost his title to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Daniel Cormier</a> in UFC 226. However, he knocked out Cormier in the rematch to regain his title in UFC 241. Subsequently, he defended his title almost a year later at UFC 252 in a trilogy bout.
