UFC Fighter Realizes He Can Make More Money Selling Homes

UFC Fighter Realizes He Can Make More Money Selling Homes While Real Estate might be pretty cutthroat, no one is throwing punches at you.

Most of the time anyway. One UFC fighter realized that he could make more money flipping homes than his opponents.

Al Iaquinta took two years off from the MMA league between 2015 and 2017 in protest of their pay scale, questioning why any sane person would continue to fight for them.  Iaquinta told MMA Fighting that he made more money from real estate than what he would have received in the cage, saying, "It's crazy that a real estate agent on Long Island can make their show money for headlining a five-round fight against a top-six, top-seven guy in the world."

What made you leave a job? Did you find that the money was better in your new career?
