UFC: Jon Jones Not Included In Top 15 Highest-Paid MMA Fighters

Despite being one of the best MMA fighters in the world today, Jon Jones is not included in the list of highest-paid MMA fighters.

Jon Jones has had quite a stellar MMA career. Joining UFC, Jones managed to cement his name into the GOAT list of Mixed Martial Artists. This is why it is quite odd that Jones did not make it to the top 10, not even top 15 highest-paid MMA fighters in the world.

Jon “Bones” Jones will definitely go down in the history of combat sports as one of the greatest fighters to ever compete on a professional level. But for some unknown reason, the UFC star’s net worth doesn't seem to match his legacy.

According to Wealthy Gorilla, Jones is ranked “16^th” in the latest list of world’s highest-paid MMA fighters.

It is true that Jones has been involved in a lot of negative issues outside the UFC, but as far as being an MMA fighter is concerned, Jones no doubt, helped the promotion pocket millions of dollars from each blockbuster event he had fought in.

Jones’ $10 million net worth is far from what his peers in MMA are making. Former UFC welterweight and middleweight champ Georges St-Pierre’s worth is estimated to be close to $30 million. While his fellow current UFC superstar Conor McGregor is reportedly worth anywhere above $110 million.

Ironically, Jones was the lone MMA star to ever give his fellow MMA fighters an advice on how to ensure that they are getting the money they rightfully deserve.

Last June, Jones took to social media his unique financial advice for MMA newbies. According to Jones, “no manager should get 20% of the fighter’s money." On his lengthy post, the UFC light heavyweight king details what fighters should do in order to not get fooled in the business.

“I want to help those making their way through and I’ll start with this: No manager should ever be getting 20% of your money,” Jones wrote.

Jones then revealed how much managers should really be getting from their fighter’s purse as cut.

“I hear about and see too many young fighters getting stuck in bad deals. Real talk a manager should make 10%, maybe 15 if they are really getting it done for you, but never should you be paying a manager more than you pay Uncle Sam. NEVER,” Jones explained.
