4. MMA Fighter
The sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting has become a phenomenon since its introduction into the United States. The Ultimate Fighting Championship brings together MMA fighters to duel in a combat style that is fast paced, intense, and dangerous. These fighters train for brutal matches against other fighters who have their own unique skill sets and training styles, making it more challenging for opponents to predict their next moves.
Being a highly televised combat sport, elite MMA fighters who compete in the UFC can make massive amounts of money. MMA Weekly notes that fighter Chris Weidman makes $500,000 including bonuses for winning a match. Fighters can easily earn six figures if they have a winning streak or become undefeated thanks to winning bonuses. With the pressure to train hard, making the possibility for injuries greater, and fighting in grueling matches make MMA fighting extremely dangerous for fighters.
