It's still staggering to me the difference in fighter pay between MMA and boxing. Jon Jones' purse was $500,000 at UFC 247. Canelo Alvarez's purse was $35 million against Sergey Kovalev.

Interesting: Yoel Romero says he trained wrestling for 3 months in Dagestan years ago. Who watched him? A 14-year-old Khabib Nurmagomedov. At Romero's first UFC fight in the U.S., in San Jose in 2013, he ran up to him. "Yoel, do remember me? ... I'm now fighting for the UFC."
