Pereira guaranteed $10M for Gane fight; Ngannou signs 8-fight UFC deal

Alex Pereira is set to earn a guaranteed $10 million purse for his fight against Ciryl Gane, making it the largest guaranteed payout in UFC history. Francis Ngannou, whose departure from the organization had been the subject of speculation after Pereira suggested his future was uncertain, has in fact signed an eight-fight UFC contract. Secretary of State Marco Rubio projected the White House UFC event could draw up to one billion viewers, while Dana White expects viewership comparable to the Super Bowl.
