Can I make $5,000/year with amateur MMA fighting?

What's ya height

he's a bouncer so I'd assume more than enough, there's weightclasses for every size and weight anyway

You could make 5000$ a year if you're good OP, are you good at fighting because you're a tough guy and fight all the time or do you actually have any martial arts training?

He said MMA, not sports entertainment.

Nothing formal, but my manager was a black belt in two different disciplines and I worked with a combat vet as well. Those two taught me a lot. One on one, I can beat most trained fighters in my weight class. I'm 6'2" 200 pounds and just enough body fat to keep me from bleeding too fast. I'd be a middleweight.

Why do you ask, do you want to blow him when he's standing?

Hey, if I can make the money I need without working a busy schedule, I'm happy. Doesn't need to be glamorous. Doesn't absolutely need to be MMA. Just can't be illegal... Or boxing. Most of what I do relies on my lower body strength. I can take out a boxer in an MMA fight easily, but boxing doesn't allow the use of the legs or holds, so taking out a boxer's legs in a boxing match isn't an option.

Anyone know where I could apply at? I've googled this ad nauseam, but UFC says to apply on jobbi, which as far as I can tell hasn't existed for years.

Anon ain't my waifu.

First, you're not looking for amateur MMA. Amateur MMA is pre-pro, for working up to going pro and testing your skills, they don't pay you. Low-level pro MMA events will pay, but it would be advisable to do at least one amatuer match(and win it) before going pro to make sure you're ready, plus it will make you look better from a booking angle for your first pro fight.

What disciplines? Just curious.

Oh, and also, it would be easier to find fights if you trained at a gym, trainers usually manage and advise their trainees to a certain degree and book them for fights if they feel they are ready. You also often start competing in grappling competitions and/or amateur kickboxing or boxing.

Aikido and Tae Kwon Do. He said aikido was most of what he used since you're a lot less likely to get into legal trouble with it, so it is better suited to real world use.

Whatever level I would need to do to get paid, then.

That makes a lot of sense... Maybe I should look into something I can do over the summer instead? Problem is, unless you have a skill not many people have, finding any kind of job in detroit that isn't a soul-sucking factory is very difficult.
