Gabriel varga is my favorite KB. I think he is severely overlooked and underestimated.

Never, unless you're the top 10%i'm just curious how long it normally takes after 'going pro' before you can afford to drop your 'day job' lol

Going pro doesn't mean it is your job. It just means you get paid to fight. Barely anyone can get sponsorship to be a full time fighter. Or make enough money from fights to pay rent.
Unless you get lucky with a title shot, or a warm up fight for a big name on the comeback trail you had best be top 15 material or you'll just be another shattered dream telling everyone about how he could have made it.
YesSo technically when my grandmother gave me 10 rubles and told me to go fight the boy who was teasing my cousin, i became a pro fighter?
Mods i want the pro fighter tag
I remember you told me about this before. Seasonal or part time work while doing MT stuff and coaching centered around your fightsNot much, MT probably being the lowest paid of all. The amount of dedication and time commitment leaves little to no time for work. Most are supported in some way or are basically homeless nomads living in gyms. 40 hours a week and actively competing isn't impossible, but close to it. I did it but it wasn't easy

Lol. House husband?I work with a good number of pros and only one who didn’t have a day job. His wife made a ton of cash so he could train to his hearts content
living the DreamLol. House husband?
Dude must have a great dick game to keep that one pinned down
well then maybe we shouldn't call them professionals...because the definition of professional is for it to be your main paid occupation rather than a pastime.Going pro doesn't mean it is your job.

for example despite the deal i had worked out with my former head instructor when i was running my dojo's MMA team that allowed for me to get paid, i was not a professional MMA coach or a professional instructor.
ya i'm just saying, like football and other sports have semi-pro leagues for the level of pay that most fighters get, maybe we should call them semi-pro...I don't make the rules about who's a professional and who's not. I got paid to fight many times. I'm not a professional.
I'm just salty I can't get a purple name.
