What do pro UFC make?
What does a MMA fighter makes? like UFC, K-1, etc.
I am just wondering if their life is a glamourous as people make it out to be. |

Quick addendum to that question: How do you qualify for, or enter, K1?

Your standard "entry level" UFC fighter makes $3k to show, $3k to win. The more successful you are and the more name recognition you have, the more leverage you have when contract renegotiation time comes around - the champs and big stars make considerably more than that. Pride and K-1 pay much better than the UFC, because MMA is more popular in Japan, so they have more ticket revenue to pay them with.

I read for the last Liddel title fight, he made 200 K for showing up and 200k for the win.

Shooto Class A: about 250000 yen to fight, about 400000 yen to win.
So about 2350 and 3700 dollars respectively. Interesting... that makes shooto higher than UFC too. |

From what ive heard also they are paid an amount to show and an amount for winning, and it varies last time i had read the purses was on a mma forum and the majority of the top ufc contenders were around 50k/50k to about 125k/125k
About the k1 i dont know i think the final world championship prize is around 1million nowadays. I have heard thought that at the lowest levels if you are fighting in the elimination rounds for say k-1 United kingdom. The pay is around 2-3k gbp which is around 5000 dollars. About getting in to the k-1 the rules are along the lines of you have to be a world champion in a respectable organisation , say a pro boxer or a full contact karate world champion in japan. Or a world champion full contact kickboxer. Now i think you can also gain entrance if your country hosts k-1 elimination competition and you find who the promoter is and set up a couple of fights so he can check your talent out before hand. Lastly you can be a freak in some way, i think that is also an asset
