Martial artist typically don't get paid just because they are martial artists. The lucky ones get paid because they use their skills as part of their jobs such as bodyguards, and actors. Others teach and earn money that way. The majority of martial artists have full time jobs and the Martial Arts is a hobby on the side. I teach three classes a week and make very little money, enough to buy a new gi and pay for a seminar once a year. I don't get paid anything. I just do it for the love of my art.

The pay of a fighter ranges over a vast gray area. Most starting fighters are paid less than 10k every fight, fighting 3-4 times a year (could be less or more). If you are a highlighted UFC fighter (very rare) you make 100k+ a fight (this is only if you are relavent).

I know one and hes done about 4-5 professional UFC fights & he takes home about $10000.00 a fight. Deppends if he wins or not. Which also deppends on weather he'll fight or not. He has to find buisness that will pay to sponsor him so he can train full time & then he wears shorts with their name on it in the ring & endorses their brands.

MMA Fighters usually have a show-up payout which is specified in their contracts. This money will be paid out for every fight they show-up. The amount differs from person to person and is significantly higher for big names like Anderson Silva or GSP and is comparatively lower for other/newer fighters. Apart from this they also get money through the various bonuses announced like - Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night, Knockout of the Night etc

Also, the winner of a fight gets some extra money called "Win Bonus" which is not available to the loser of the fight.

Apart from the money they get from UFC, fighters also get money from their respective sponsors for sporting their brand names and logos in their attire and gear.

Martial arts fighters don't get paid by the hour. Most of them make money through winning fights, where there is a cash prize. If they are good, they may be able to get sponsors that will pay them to use and endorse their products.
