How do fighters make a living during long breaks

Pilot for a charter airline

A lot of them are coaches who you could probably have a private coaching session with. Charge $100 a PT 7-10 times a week ain’t bad money.

So I was reading about Jimmy Crute needing to take a long break from the sport

While Jimmy did appears on some main card PPVs, I figured he probably made a good living while he was fighting, but not enough savings to support him and a family if he took a break

Same for Gregor Gillepsie, seems like he rarely fights

Or Kevin Lee, who can now retire, but I would assume would need another job

Al Iaquinta had to go into real estate

Ed Herman had to become a truck driver during long breaks

Stipe is doing fire fighter calendars......

Gregor comes from money so he doesn't need to do anything.

Bouncing at nightclubs

Bouncing and security work was always a solid option. I could do mornings or overnights for security contracts and it tended not to be as physically demanding and draining as labor or warehouse work. Also if you're halfway decent looking and have the size/appearance, as a lot of fighters do...you get better paying security jobs quick. A lot of fighters for sure just coach though. Several fighters I've known in Bellator or LFA still living with their parents in their 20s and even early 30s.

For a fighter in the US on a 12/12 it’s got to be tough but if you’re based out of a country like Thailand or Brazil even Mexico 24K goes a loooong ass way

Kazakhs make like 750 USD a month on average, so yeah...12k/12k contracts are fucking crazy for some people.
