Speaking on the MMA Hour this week, WSOF welterweight Jon Fitch discussed the trade off when it comes to fighting in a cage for a living:
“If we’re getting paid correctly, it shouldn’t matter,” said Fitch on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “We know the risk; we know what’s going to happen.”
Fitch, 37, believes fighters should be allowed to fight and make money until they’re slurred in speech or until they can’t remember where they placed their car keys.
“It’s my decision. If I want to do that, I should be allowed to do that,” said Fitch. “I’ll trade some brain cells for some money for my children so they don’t have to work when they’re older.”
