In all walks of life there’s few things more inspiring than a real-life rags to riches story, and that’s certainly the case in the sport of mixed martial arts.
Truth be told, MMA is still a relatively young sport in the grand scheme of things, with the leading promotion, UFC only having been in existence for 23 years.
Back in those early days it wasn’t clear whether the UFC would still be around the next year, let alone provide a good living for the fighters putting it all on the line in the Octagon.
However, as the sport has grown in popularity we have begun to see more and more examples of stars who have been able to make their fortune fighting on the sport’s biggest stage.
At this stage the fighters you are about to read about are very much the exception to the rule, but their tales of escaping the clutches of poverty and the drudgery of dead-end jobs to find fame and fortune inside the Octagon provide a source of hope and inspiration for future generations that will aspire to follow in the footsteps of these MMA stars.
