Bubba McDaniel choses jail over traffic ticket while struggling to find regional fights
Pat Lovell-USA TODAY SportsFormer TUF cast member and UFC fighter Bubba McDaniel got to spend a day in Jail, after getting stuck with a traffic ticket for not wearing a seat belt.
Life for MMA fighters outside the UFC just isn't very glamorous. Case in point, former Zuffa fighter Bubba McDaniel, who recently spent a day in jail, because it made more financial sense than paying a $159 ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. McDaniel posted on Facebook that he's been struggling to find fights lately and was driving between landscaping jobs when he got pulled over. It sounds like the market for former UFC talent on the US regional scene just isn't very good.
