notsorry , i'm curious
are you serious about mma? or is it just something you do for fun?
I take it very seriously, it is more than a job or career for me it's a way of life. I want to travel the world training and testing my skills against the best, not just under "standard mma" rules but in various other forms of combat. My end goal has always been to one day open my own gym and coach the next generation, but not anytime soon of course.
What I never understood was, how can people afford to train in mma so much, isn't the pay shit, unless you're the top ~1%?
How can 99% of these fighters afford to train at top mma gyms, and pay for travel expenses, personal training etc..
I dont know what a dt drop is. Is it a wrestling move? -Oly
In case you are good enough you dont have to pay for training at top mma gyms ....
they pay u ....
Still u are correct in the assumption that as an MMA pro you are not swimming in money.
I didnt manage to go professional due to health reasons and maybe lack of talent,too ^^
But some of my longtime training partners did go pro.
Seeing how much pressure they have every fight and how little money they get overall did change my view on MMA.
The average income from sponsorships (~ 600- 800€ month) 3-4 fights a year (1000€ fight) and working parttime as a bouncer (700€ month) is an average of 1800€ a month after tax.
I dont know how it its in other countrys but thats around what my friends get.
You can live an okayish live with that.
Still its far away from living the dream of a professional athlete diving in money and driving a ferrari ^^
U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)

Yea it's a struggle for sure, but I'd much rather do this than any normal job. Also the experiences and the people you met are real hard to put a price tag on.
Side Note: Met Arnold once at a starbucks while he was the governor and the Terminator theme was playing in my head.
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
just rediscovered this song. would be good for me since my last name is daut (pronounced doubt) but its a really sick old school hip hop track, so if thats your thing maybe it would work

Hell yea, "No Diggity" and "This is how we do it" sums up my mid to late 90s
