LOL after reading that, anyone would think again before becoming a pro fighter.
It is already extremely hard to get in the UFC, and even if you do that, you will not get that much money.
Of course there are some fighters that make tons of money and are millionaires, but you can count them with the fingers of your hands.

Most of a fighter's paycheck does not come from that 4-5 figure purse. It instead comes from the promotional deals that being a fighter in the UFC allows you to have. While it is true that these fighters cannot support themselves an entire year on a purse, does a fighter who just broke into the organization with 0 drawing power deserve to be making alot?

Should the UFC have to pay for a dozen people to travel and for their accommodations? I don't think so. Could they? Of course they could.

The fighter pay will only increase with the sport's popularity, but to think that it is the UFC's fault that the logistics for Stungun and his country are not easy, is inane.

What percentage of actors or musicians make it big?

The reality is, most of those extra costs could be offset by sponsors if the UFC wasn't so ridiculous about sponsorship. End of problem.

-Sounds like things are getting hard for Dong.
-There goes Dong, shootin' off again...
-Come on Dong, this is nothing to hang your head about.
-Don't worry Dong, things will start peaking up soon.
-Dong just needs to rise to the occasion.


O.K. I'll stop now...
