Video: Making a living as a professional MMA fighter

So, ya wanna be a bleepin’ fighter? Even some of the best in the business have had to wonder from time to time if they have what it takes to make MMA a full-time career.

T.J. Dillashaw knew he could make it when he was hanging with the best Team Alpha Male had to offer. And next month, he’ll fight Renan Barao for the UFC’s bantamweight title.

But not everyone will make it to championship level. Robert McDaniel still needs to supplement his income outside of the fight game to get by.

In the video above, hear what Dillashaw, McDaniel, Kyle Noke, Leonard Garcia and Stipe Miocic have to say about making their livings as fighters.
