I'm considering joining a gym and was looking at the schedule with the intention of becoming an amateur fighter. In between that and just working even part time to support myself, there's not a lot of time to be able to meet class schedules. And you know 99% of fighters aren't making enough to live.
I work just 20-30 hours a week and might be able to fit in like 4-5 classes a week that don't fuck with my work schedule. There's no way you're going to become a pro taking 5 classes a week.
How are guys in amateur and 90% of pro fighters doing this?
It almost seems like the biggest advantage in MMA isn't athleticism or natural ability but just somehow having enough money to train full time.
What kinds of jobs do these guys work?
