Fighters that get offered injury insurance should feel extremely lucky. If you don’t have a job because you’re a full time fighter and have a fight scheduled, you’re banking on that money. Camps are expensive. Not only that, but food for dieting and cutting weight is also expensive. If you’ve paid for all of that and you’re close to your fight and get hurt, you’re pretty much in the hole without the insurance.
Having this fight canceled this weekend has really fucked me over. I spent a lot of money on food, blood work, a physical, and extra gym fees. I have my normal mma gym but I took some morning classes too at other gyms and had to pay extra for those, so for this fight to get canceled the week of, really sucks.
