This, despite the fact that Turki Alalshikh is fronting the cash, not UFC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But that one-fight deal has now been turned into a multi-fight partnership as UFC CEO, Dana White, announced that Zuffa Boxing has locked down the services of Benn for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

\u201cConor and I just signed a new deal here after his one-fight deal. We are excited to have him,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are ready to put on some big fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Benn, he has been very happy with the new partnership which made it easy for him to continue with the upstart boxing promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just signed a new multi-fight deal and I am very, very excited. Our visions are aligned and our goals remain the same, which is to get that world title, but more importantly to get people the fights they want to see, to give people the mega-fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

White and Benn appeared on ESPN\u2019s \u201cFirst Take\u201d shortly after the news to further talk about their blossoming partnership.<\/p>\n

One of those mega-fights could come against Ryan Garcia, as Benn was recently linked<\/a> to a potential showdown against \u201cKing Ry\u201d for later this year. Benn is coming off a unanimous decision win over Regis Prograis two weeks ago (highlights here<\/a>), though the winning performance didn\u2019t convince everyone that he warranted such a large contract as it received mostly negative reviews across the board. <\/a><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Dana and Turki apparently saw more than enough to justify a contract extension, though details regarding future payouts were not disclosed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This, despite the fact that Turki Alalshikh is fronting the cash, not UFC.
