Even when you make it to the UFC, it doesn’t mean you’re making the big bucks.
Just ask UFC fighter Sarah Moras, who has had two fights in the biggest MMA promotion in the world.
Moras, who appeared as a contestant on TUF 18 revealed to fans on twitter that she is injured and spent her entire savings on her last fight camp.
Moras replied to a tweet that asked when her next fight would be. Moras said, “@EnzoF40599gto got injured, and spent all my savings on my last camp so now i’m broke and injured and can’t even afford another camp yet.”

The UFC vet was asked how much her fight camp costs. She didn’t reply with an exact dollar amount, saying, “@EnzoF40599gto then rent and everything that i gotta pay while i’m not working and buying food and everything…. it adds up.”

Moras also added that the Reebok uniform deal in place with the UFC has hurt her income from sponsorship revenue, tweeting, “@EnzoF40599gto yeah its hard, especially now that its almost impossible to make sponsorship money.”
