MMA Fighter - fighter Chris Weidman makes $500,000
Being a highly televised combat sport, elite MMA fighters who compete in the UFC can make massive amounts of money. MMA Weekly notes that
fighter Chris Weidman makes $500,000 including bonuses for winning a match. Fighters can easily earn six figures if they have a winning streak or become undefeated thanks to winning bonuses. With the pressure to train hard, making the possibility for injuries greater, and fighting in grueling matches make MMA fighting extremely dangerous for fighters.
