Professional Jiu-Jitsu competition has long been regarded as a sport where it’s virtually impossible for athletes to make good money. First it was instructional sites like BJJ Fanatics that brought some money into the sport by allowing athletes to reach a wider market and earn a profit from the techniques they’ve spent years to develop. Then organizations like ADCC began to up the ante and offer up to $40,000 for winners.
Now, the most successful no gi competitor on the planet right now is proving that sponsorship can also be a lucrative avenue for BJJ competitors to pursue.
