The UFC Lightweight now famous around the world for calling out the President and subsequently being paid a visit from the Secret Service appeared as a guest last night on Fox Business. Jacob Volkmann was asked several questions about his salary as a fighter then asked the reasons he is not in favor of Obama Care. Volkmann reveals he doesn’t care for the time consuming paperwork involved with the health care policy. The host goes on to press him further about the meager $60,000 he made as an MMA fighter last year and was curious as to why he would want to get his face bashed in for so little. He then assumes Volkmann made more as a Chiropractor, but we learn that he only made $17,000 from his chiropractic business last year and that was before his business expenses. The 6 minute interview is almost uncomfortable to watch, but very interesting, so we have it for you below:


*UPDATE: MMAWeekly reports, Jacob Volkmann was placed on administrative leave as Assistant Head Coach of the Wrestling Program at White Bear Lake Highschool (one of the several jobs Volkmann holds, as mentioned in the Fox Business video). Volkmann told MMAWeekly:

“They put me on administrative leave they called it. They said I was representing the school in a bad way, and during the interview I mentioned the President is an idiot. They were a little upset about that. They’re actually reviewing it and they’ve got a case on it. They’re doing a report on it. No timeframe, she said she was going to give me a call, she had to talk to the superintedent first and she had to talk to the school board.”

Volkmann went on to say that the UFC is not upset and is with him on this one. He will appear this Thursday on Inside Edition.
