I had a brief phone meeting with UFC%u2018s lawyer Hunter a few days ago. As of right now I expressed to him that anywhere around eight to $10 million would be way too low for a fight of this magnitude. That%u2019s all that has been discussed so far.

I%u2019m supposed to be waiting for what their offer is going to be. Really hoping the numbers are nowhere near that low. I guess we will see what happens

One thing I%u2019m sure of, I%u2019ve never had more people excited to see A fight than they are now, I literally can%u2019t walk to my mail box without someone asking me about the fight

I%u2019ve been working my ass off for years, concussions, surgeries, fighting the Toughest competition UFC had to offer throughout my 20s for right around 2 million per fight. I%u2019m just trying to have my payday, the fight that all of us fighters Believe is one day possible.

I tweeted show me the money and that evidently pissed off the boss. What a learning lesson. I feel like if Connor would%u2019ve sent that same tweet there would have been whiskey night.

I believe I was grossly underpaid throughout my entire 20s. I%u2019m not even here bitching about that. I just want to see the future done right.

I feel like this fight is monumental, matchup%u2018s like this don%u2019t come very often in a lifetime. Me stopping Francis in my first fight up at heavyweight would be nothing short of extraordinary. Ali versus foreman, hosted by the UFC
