Guys who are winning vast sums in these Grand Prix' probably don't feel they're wasting their careers more than those making 10k on the prelims in the Apex
There are certainly more opportunities for UFC fighters to get rich, but that comes with fame no matter how you get it. The fact is that even these "unwatched" organizations are often paying several times what the UFC pays. Can't blame a young fighter for wanting a bigger bag up front.
