probably thats the fight game. But most tend to reup just because of its the "UFC" if you cant pay for a camp... might wanna find another profession
Sarah Moras starts GoFundMe to help pay for UFC 215 fight camp
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
What a joke.
Meanwhile Vanzant is getting paid to ride her free Harley while receiving multiple sponsors everywhere she goes. It is a sport of haves and have-nots.

I honestly couldn't care less. I am not a fan of watching the vast majority of women's mma, most of them shouldn't even be in there BUT if the UFC is using her to make money then by rights, her and any other of their contracted employees should be making enough money to put on a world class performance. The thing is though, even if they did that (the UFC paying more), would the majority of the women's mma fighters actually BE putting on world class performances? I am skeptical on this.
It's barely even a sport anymore. It's a popularity contest based on looks & demographics that help the UFC push their brand on the masses. And it's gotten worse since WME–IMG bought them out
Why else would you pair someone like Sage, who's nowhere near being a top fighter, with Mighty Mouse, a champ & MMA GOAT, in a Metro PCS commercial?

Wow, is that figure roughly accurate?
But no, fuck that, spending 10 mil on a single facility is a much better idea.
It is like they are trolling fighters at this point to see just how much they can push.
I couldn't find an exact number for fighters under UFC contract, but I think it's less than 200. 200*10k*4 = $8M
So went 25% over my fat estimate and said "< $10M"

Thanks! $20M for a $10k fight camp, 4 times a year, for every fighter under contract.
But that $20M represents an absolute maximum.
Obviously, not all fighters would need the camp $$, and not many fighters are fighting 4X a year.
Every fighter fighting 4X a year would mean 176 fights every month.
Ya and no way the majority or even small percentage of fighters get that much opportunity. Cerrone is the best example of an exception as he's super active relatively speaking.
I like Sara. I've been fortunate enough to learn some BJJ from her and she's really nice and knowledgeable imo. If this is what it takes to keep her in the octagon then so be it. I see no need to throw shade her way.
With all due respect, she hasn't fought for 2 years. I've read it's because she's been injured. So... that means she must have been spending less time in the gym, right? What else, then, was she doing with her time? Could she not have some sort of job?
The first rule of Anonymous Keyboard Warriors' Club.......
She has a job.she needs to enter a serious fight camp not wait tables all day then go to class for a couple hours at night.
I chatted with her on twitter last night and she is going to send everyone who donates a signed pic.
I think it should be one of these.
Personally, I believe she should look into a Pert Plus sponsorship like Elias Theodorou.
Yep.....I find it hot.I'm ambivalent to the fund me issue but that chick has crazy in her eyes.
In all honesty a female MMA fighter shit herself on live tv and got offered 15K for said trunks.
That's all i'm gonna say.
Shane Carwin did it. Only he worked as an Engineer.
I believe it probably makes financial sense for the UFC to simply pay all of their fighters a base amount for a 2 month training camp, as someone outlined the numbers earlier and they weren't that big. But should there be so much complaining about this? I'm not sure. It's no crime against humanity even if she did have to have a normal job and train at night.
There isn't that big a demand from anyone for her fights. This is the eat what you can kill business.
I want a signed picture of her ass. She got a biiiiggg asssssss!
Guess again. And yes, despite the url that list is up to date as of four days ago.
EDIT: Fuck; beaten.
I do agree with your overall point though.
They should just give straight monthly stipends, on top of purses. Let the fighters decide how to spend them. Also your average fighter fights twice a year, because that's how many spots are available on cards. Some fight less, either because they get injured or because some people manage to get booked more.
Anyway, let's put it at $2000 a month, on top of their purse money. This is not a living wage for most fighters, but sure as fuck helps, and it'd be a predictable income.
$24k * ~540 fighters = $12,960,000.
You have a healthier pool of fighters who are going to be far less likely to end up financially unable to stay in the fight game despite winning a title eliminator in their final fight (TJ Grant) or homeless while actively under contract (Patrick Cummins). The stipend is also another thing a fighter can lose if they piss hot, so all the more motivation to stay clean.
I'm pretty sure she's either a waitress or barista most of the time. She makes enough to pay the rent but not enough to save up for fight camp (during which she will also be giving up her normal job income).
