Fighter Income Quotes

I got to world champion, No 1-rated fighter in the division and managed to earn from the defences.

I'm a guy who likes to keep fighting five, six times a year, so if I ask for too much money, they might say, 'Well, we pay you too much. We can't let you keep jumping backwards and forwards and promote it.' The money I'm making is good to keep grabbing short-notice fights. I love them; they're my favorite ones.

I don't know how much the other fighters make. But I need to tell you that, for myself, money is not the first consideration.

I just feel that all the top fighters in the world are making all the money.

It's a good thing I have another job because the UFC doesn't pay very well.

That's what it's all about in MMA, we're not the highest paid athletes in the world, so when you can get the big money fights you have to take them.
