Jon Jones was able to get back the UFC light heavyweight championship title<\/a> from Daniel Cormier on Saturday night, serving “DC” the first KO loss of his MMA career. Jones is the only man who has been able to fight Cormier in a professional mixed martial arts bout and come out the winner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cormier went into the UFC 214 fight against Jones as the defending champion and earned the highest reported salary<\/a> from the event with a guaranteed purse of $1 million. Jones’ reported salary from UFC 214 was $500,000. However, Malki Kawa who manages Jon Jones claims that the reported incomes don’t tell the full stories as far as earnings go.<\/p>\n

\"Malki<\/a><\/p>\n

“He makes a lot already as it is. People see all that stuff that gets reported on the internet,\u201d said Kawa on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour<\/a> (transcribed by Adam Guillen Jr. for MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019ve been telling you guys for a long time, Jon is the highest paid guy in the UFC, aside from pay-per-view, just on the base guarantees, and I guess people never really believe, so I just let you guys believe what you want to. The pay-per-view (PPV) stuff is just extra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kawa was asked if Jones makes more than Conor McGregor<\/a> and left it up to everyone’s best guess.<\/p>\n

\"Jon<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cListen, I\u2019m not going to get into all of that. I\u2019m just letting you guys know that he is definitely up there, top two or three. Take that and run with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the UFC 214 pay, Kawa didn’t reveal his client’s personal income in any specific detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t necessarily need to put his business out like that. He doesn\u2019t necessarily like that. Just put it like this, he makes good money and he will be making more money and if the pay-per-view does well he will make even more money. So, you can\u2019t beat any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
