Do UFC fighters actually make a profit from their little side businesses?

[MMAMAX]

I hope they do, but look at what happened to Bigg Rigg's Steakhouse. You got Condit's coffee gig, GSP's quacky Hydroevolution stuff, Rumble's Marijuana business or whatever.

Some of these things seem like massive money sinks. What do you think?

Koscheck.

 

[Soul King]

Yes. Perfect example

 

[Threetrees]

Like virtually any other entrepreneur, I imagine it varies person to person

 

[MMAMAX]

Is that actually making a ton of money tho? Hmm. I think the success of that is a bit smoke and mirrors if I'm being honest.

I don't think that hydroevolution stuff is GSP's business. He's most likely getting paid to advertise their product.

Huh? I thought he owned it... or at least part owned it.

I would imagine tonstof fighters have side businesses. Even if they aren't burger joints with their face on it I'm sure plenty have invested in or started stuff to bring extra income. Jacob Volkmann was a full time chiropractor with his own clinic while fighting 8 or 9 times in 18 months.

This is basically what happens when marginally popular UFC guys go into over-saturated specialty markets with huge barriers to entry and tiny market share.

Restaurants are notoriously unforgiving and Hendricks just isn't smart enough to succeed in one.

Making videos for pornhub pays way better.

Mighty Mouse and rampage have streaming channels On twitch
Mayday Michael McDonald does carpentry
Mendez has a hunting gig
Raging Al and his training partner Funk master are in real estate
Chael, Dc, Bisping and a number of other fighters have podcasts
Others have gyms
Guys like Twood have Hollywood side gigs

Mr Ortega’s dreamy eyes are making him money while he sleeps

In a nutshell yes, they make $.

Randy Couture dabbled in that market.

 

[Nate banged my mom]

How would we know?

Dakota Cochrane was pretty successful in his side business.
