How is he even licensed to do this? He retired 8 years ago because he couldn't get licensed due to a bad MRI he had some brain damage iirc.
He looks to be in awful shape

I am going to throw out a wild guess & say that it's not going to be sanctioned in OK?

He has been seriously critical of the UFC and Dana since his retirement. Hate to see him having to resort to doing this for money.

Tim sylvia was doing roofing the ufc should have given him a job at one of their gyms like they did to razor rob.

It's hilarious but sad at the same time how much he milks the "UFC Champion" label. I remember the stories of him wearing the UFC belt to clubs and such...

It also seems like bad marketing to have a 6'8" 350lb ufc champ show up to your door step.

He better be getting paid nicely to do it
Not worth it
Even if he was the highest paid slap fighter in history that would only be over 4 grand but a while back he was saying 10 grand was a lot of money to him when he needed surgery so he is doing really bad financially.

They get 2 and 2 so if they lose I think they get only 2 grand which is 1 grand after taxes.
Is that starting pay or can they make more, I would think if you have a name you could get more.

Haven't watched it so can't really speak on it

A sport where you slap people in the face is probably not sponsor friendly. if they do get sponsors it is probably for like 200-500 bucks from condom depot. They probably have to pay their own flights and motels too. Only cheap is expense they might have is no training camp.

It seems like a bad way to earn a living unless money is big time
A lot of these slap fighters are probably doing this for the love of the "sport" and their main jobs is something like being prison guards or truckers I bet they barely break even from slap fighting.
