Working police fighter UFC compared earnings in the service and in MMA

American fighter UFC Luis Hernandez, who works as a police officer in Florida, on the YouTube channel of Ariel Helvani compared his earnings in the service and in MMA.

30-year-old Hernandez spent in professional MMA nine fights and scored nine victories. Last week, he made his UFC debut at a tournament in Las Vegas. Hernandez defeated compatriot Cedric Dumas with a stifling reception in the first round and received a bonus for the "best performance of the evening" of $100,000.

Helvani asked Hernandez where he now earns more - in the MMA world or in the service. "In the police," replied the fighter, quoted by Bloody Elbow.

According to Hernandez, he is not going to leave the service and will combine a career in the UFC and work as a police officer.
