That's crazy, they train their asses off, but so do most of us to some degree and they make $200,000 for 25 minutes worth of action at the most and most times not even close to that long

Phil Davis is a NCAA wrestling champ from Penn State. Keep an eye on this guy

yeah it may seem like a lot but when you look at their overhead, trainers- sparring partners and such, the money is still good but not that...

wonder what those guys have to pay for medical insurance? who the hell would want to insure a full contact fighter that gets beat on day in and day out year round?
