UFC’s Sarah Alpar ‘so grateful’ for Jake Paul, details recent financial struggles

Sarah Alpar won her way to a UFC contract with a submission win over Shanna Young on the Contender Series in 2019. Alpar then had to wait over a year for her full promotional debut.

That eventually came last September, with a TKO loss to Jessica-Rose Clark. Thanks to a fight cancellation, Alpar has been on the sidelines for another year and is expected to return to the Octagon this September to face Erin Blanchfield.

In addition to being a fighter in the world’s largest and most lucrative MMA promotion, Alpar is also a student and a barista.
