Some takeaways from the press conference:

- UFC started talks on Ronda/Gina in 2024.

- UFC contacted Gina Carano first about the fight.

- UFC lowballed the fight and couldn't offer as much percentage (Under Paramount there is no PPV buys) to pay Ronda or Gina anything.

- UFC didn't pass on the fight, they simply couldn't afford it. Same story with Ngannou's contract negotiation.

- DW urged Ronda to get real money on her own. Has less power in the UFC, less ability to pay people. Beholden to shareholders.

You Fight Cheap strikes again.

And a WH update: Jon Jones was in negotiation for the White House and UFC lowballed him. It would have been Poatan vs Jones.

The fight fell through because Jones wouldn't accept less money than he was offered to fight Aspinall last year. Sucks it came down to money and Jones wouldn't take a pay cut but I get it. It'd be his final fight, it's a very big fight, and it's the White House. I guess the Aspinall money wasn't available anymore from the UFC's Saudi investors they had got for Aspinall-Jones earlier this year.

This has been a problem for several years-- but is a more public facing problem today since it involves their biggest draws.
