“Hope Your Son Can Play” – Fans React as Aaron Judge’s Absurd $360 Million Worth Yankees Deal Gets an Uproarious Reaction From UFC Star

Athletes earn staggering sums of money. And such information always makes people pause a bit and think. One such piece of recent news was the signing of Aaron Judge to a multimillion-dollar contract with the New York Yankees. This news made Derek Brunson reconsider his son’s future in the MMA in light of this information. However, Brunson‘s witty tweet drew in some serious reactions from the fans as they debated the underpayment of UFC fighters and blamed Dana White for that.
