To put it mildly, fighter pay for many in the MMA world is less than ideal. And there are several reasons as to why that may be.<\/p>\n

Even some of the very best fighters in the sport are struggling to stay afloat in their daily lives. Take No. 2 ranked strawweight contender Jessica Andrade for a prime example.<\/p>\n

Andrade has been nearly unstoppable during her UFC run and looks to continue her dominance next Saturday at UFC 228 when she takes on Karolina Kowalkiewicz.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian recently took the time to speak with media (via\u00a0MMAFighting<\/a>) about her current financial situation.<\/p>\n

\u201dI\u2019m going to my 14th fight in the UFC and it\u2019s really difficult to get sponsors, to get people who want to help you financially. Sometimes we have to sell UFC clothes, backpack, gloves, stuff like that, to make some extra money to finish a camp. It\u2019s quite difficult, but we go on.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think it would be great if we had a bigger incentive from the government and the city in sports. Not only in fighting, but it lacks a lot for all sports. It would be great if we had this support from people, from businessman, to say \u2018we will help.\u2019 Even if it\u2019s only with 500 reais ($120) because 500 reais makes a huge difference by the end of the month *laughs*.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have nothing to complain with the UFC because I get paid really well in the UFC. I think you\u2019re paid according to your work, and I think that\u2019s really cool. That\u2019s why I want to be fighting all the time, to show that I\u2019m the best, that I\u2019m evolving, because the more you show, the more you get paid.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite having no complaints, Andrade believes that there are definitely some improvements to be made and is hopeful that things will get better.<\/p>\n

And how could they get better? Reverting back to old ways may be a solution.<\/p>\n

\u201dI\u2019m expecting an improvement, but it\u2019s getting better. One day I will be able to invest in some other thing and won\u2019t have this problem of having to fight only to get paid.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult, but we get by the way we can, right? I usually am a strong person and I don\u2019t show anything to others even if I\u2019m going through some difficulties, not even for my master (Gilliard Parana). I get by, Fernanda and I, my mother-in-law. Sometimes we bake a cake and sell, we get by the way we can. It\u2019s sad that we have to sell our training gear, things we get in fights that are a good memory of what we had there, but we\u2019ll get new stuff later *laughs*. I have so many of these white hoodies with my name on that no problem selling one, right? *laughs*.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The UFC has become an exceedingly profitable company and has gotten very wealthy according to UFC president Dana White who likes to let it be known.<\/p>\n

In July 2016, the UFC was sold for $4 billion to WME-IMG. White recently made the claim that the UFC is now worth $7 billion<\/a> just two years later.<\/p>\n

With the Reebok deal still in place, pay seemingly hasn’t been changing all too much for fighters despite the organization’s growth.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe have to go through difficulties to grow. Even though the UFC is millionaire, trillionaire, we have to live our reality. Unfortunately, the UFC makes all that, we don\u2019t. But I\u2019m happy with my job, happy with my salary. I never imagined I would be making as much as I make. My master usually says in training, \u2018Jessica made a million reais ($241,765) last year. I look at him and say \u2018you liar, I didn\u2019t make that much, it was a bit less\u2019 *laughs*, but it\u2019s about knowing how to invest. When I learn to invest in something that brings a result, everything will be alright and I won\u2019t go through many difficulties.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I got in the UFC, we would always get a little extra pay-per-view bonus and everything else. We won\u2019t make that much anymore because of Reebok. But we would always get an extra percentage of the card. So if it was a good card, every athlete would get a small percentage of the pay-per-view, a percentage of the video game. We don\u2019t get that today anymore.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think that should come back, us getting those extra little bonuses. In my first fights, I got $8,000 outside of my purse and sponsors. When I was short of money, that little bonus came and wow, that really helped *laughs*. That was great, that really helped us. I think we should have that again.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s at least good to see that Andrade is in good spirits about everything even though she has some obvious problems with how things.<\/p>\n
