Jon Jones received a good luck message from Tom Brady ahead of his return fight with Cyril Gane. Yet it’s questionable how much Dana White had to pay Tom Brady for that video because many people think the figure is significantly higher than what Jon or Gane will actually get for the fight.
Jones’ big day in the UFC has finally arrived, as he returned to the octagon today after three years. Before the big game, Jon received good wishes from a slew of well-known athletes from around the world, including a video greeting from NFL legend Tom Brady wishing him success.

Tom Brady, the recently retired quarterback, and a big MMA fan referred to Bones as the GOAT and said it’s nice to see him back doing what he does best.
“Hey John, I wanted to say welcome back to the main stage. Itâs great to see the GOAT doing what he does best and doing what heâs meant to do. So I thought seven titles was a lot. You doubled it, man!â Brady said.

Tom Terrific in the video also praised UFC president Dana White for his extraordinary business mind saying Dana knows how to put on a great show and this heavyweight battle would be no exception. This is where a question has been raised as UFC enthusiasts started to speculate how much Dana actually paid Tom to say all these.
Brady is also regarded as an American football legend, so Dana captioned his video greeting to Jones “From one goat to another.” Someone questioned the credibility of Tom’s words in the video and made the following absurd comment: “What’s crazy is that Dana probably paid Tom more money for this promo than he did Jones and Gane.”
Dana, who is known for being direct and saying what needs to be said upfront and fearlessly, this time too took the fan critically and responded to him right away by labeling him a crazy and stupid person for having such a thought.
â@ianlikesdrums whatâs really crazy is what a dumb DOUCHE u are.â Dana replied.

Whether Brady was legitimately compensated for the fight promotion is subject to discussion, and even if he did, the amount of that payout is terribly hard to determine. The former light heavyweight champion, later, left a comment in response to the video message expressing his desire to see Tom back once again.
âItâs great to hear from you Tom Brady, do us all a favor and give us one more season?!â Jon Jones replied.
