Parnasse\u2019s team has since expressed interest in a UFC contract.
\nParnasse\u2019s manager, Stephane Chaufourier, wrote on an Instagram
\npost tagging Dana White and the UFC: \u201cWe’ve done our part. The ball
\nis in your court\u2026\u201d

Parnasse has amassed impressive experience on the regional circuit
\nat just 28 years of age. The former KSW two-division champion has
\nfinished 15 of his 23 pro wins so far, while just conceding two
\nlosses. <\/p>\n

A Significant Gap<\/h2>\n

Parnasse reportedly earned $70,000 for his fight against Cross,
\nwhich is a huge discrepancy compared to main event fighters
\nRonda
\nRousey<\/a>\u2019s $2.2 million and Gina
\nCarano<\/a>\u2019s $1.02 million disclosed purses. Parnasse shrugged it
\noff with a joke.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called the banker and he doesn\u2019t believe it either,\u201d Parnasse
\nwrote on X (via translate).<\/p>\n
