I know there are possible endorsements and such, but not for new fighters. I'm just making the point that if your coming to the UFC from nowhere...you are going to have a heck of a time to make some real money...you would need a full-time job and time allotted for training...there can be/is a lot of talent out there that can’t financially and responsibly give up time to fight for 5K…
Oh know someone might actually ahve to work their way to the top. There are no free handouts and people need to grind it out to be at the top.
