With Daniel Cormier counting that Khabib Nurmagomedov once turned down a $40 million offer from the UFC to come back from retirement, Cejudo thinks Jones should be given a similar offer to fight the Englishman.

Joe Rogan has already said that 'Bones' wants $30 million for the fight. However, later, the commentator withdrew the information. 'Triple C' thinks the American should use that number as leverage.

“Joe Rogan just came in with the whole $30 million deal, keep it at $30 million, he just helped you. That’s the storyline. If they’re willing to give it to Khabib Nurmagomedov $40 million, what's the value of the greatest of all time?" Cejudo told 'MMA Junkie'. 

“If Joe Rogan says there’s a $30 million deal in there, let’s do it. Keep that number. You’re undefeated, you deserve it, and Turki (Alalshikh) has been making money like crazy. Why don’t you get Turki involved, do it in Saudi Arabia, make it one of the biggest fights of all time, and do it. That’s how you make your money,” said the former two-time champion.
