Diego Brandao and the rise of MMA

Diego Brandao and the rise of MMA.

After watching The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 14, it was hard not to be drawn to the story of Diego Brandao. When Diego was just 16 his father passed away and the Brazilian was left with the task of providing for his poor family. His desire to give his family a better life led him to the sport of MMA and his professional debut at age 18. What followed was a 3 year stint in the United States and an up and down MMA career that resulted in a 13-7 record. At the age of 24 however, Diego finally found his break when he was cast as a member of TUF Season 14 reality show. In a knockout style tournament, Diego beat four separate opponents on his way to the top, eventually wining the season finale with one of his now trademark first round stoppages.

It was harder to find a happier face at the post-fight press conference when Diego was told he would be receiving an additional $80, 000 in bonuses for his Knock Out of the Night and Fight of the Night performance. This bonus was added to the 6 figure contract he had already earned with the UFC by winning the TUF 14 season and the inevitable sponsorship deals which soon follow such an achievement. Diego announced that he would return to his family in Brazil and finally fulfil his promise to support his Mother and buy her the house that they had always dreamed of.

Story’s such as Diego’s are becoming increasingly common in MMA as the sport continues to grow and gain mainstream exposure. It is surely a welcome change for the athletes who have dedicated much of their time and money into the sport to finally be able to earn a much deserved pay check. As fighters are now signing endorsement deals with major sponsors such as Under Armour, Nike, Harley Davison and Burger King, yearly salaries for top fighters have grown into the millions of dollars. There is no telling in fact how big the sport of MMA may become, and if the recent expansion of the sport is anything to go by, only the sky will be the limit.
