Craig Jones Claims 6-Figure UFC BJJ Coaching Offer
In a recent Instagram story post, Craig Jones revealed that the UFC BJJ made him a large contract offer. Jones claimed that there was a six-figure deal to coach against Mikey Musumeci in the recent reality show.
The CJI co-founder decided to turn down the offer citing that it was an exclusive deal where he couldn’t run his show.
“UFC offered me 6 figures to coach against Mikey and compete against him but would have been fully exclusive. The sport is now entering an era where athletes will no longer be able to do ADCC or CJI.”- Craig Jones.
UFC Blocks Talent From Competing at CJI
Craig Jones would also make another claim against the UFC after refusing the offer. After turning down the offer, Craig said athletes under contract with the UFC BJJ were no longer allowed to compete for CJI.
“And one final notice. Until I formally declined coaching at the UFC BJJ show, the athletes could compete at CJI.”- Jones.
This turn of events will likely lead to Craig creating more videos bashing the UFC BJJ and their exclusive contracts.
