The New York Times has an interesting article on fighting and finances over here:

The IFL is a tier below the UFC and WEC, but I like watching their fights. It's pretty interesting how even title challengers still need to have day jobs outside of the actual fight. I guess that's how all big sports begin. It's bad that these fighters are poor, but I guess it's good that they love the sport so much that they're willing to sacrifice. You don't see that much sacrifice in the big sports anymore.
