How long do UFC fighters have to wait between fights?
It depends from person to person. Actually speaking, this question cannot be given a generalized answer because the longevity of a fighters career cannot be predicted. Some fighters retire after a few fights when they suffer career threating injuries while some fight for years. For ex: Brock Lesnar's career was cut short due to his "Diverticultis" and he had to retire after a career that spanned 7 fights and just 4 years. Whereas, guys like Anderson Silva have been fighting almost 15+ years. His first fight was in 1997 and he has been fighting regularly ever since.

How much do the mma fighters make?
Depends on alot of thing. Many Champions can make several hundred thousand a fight (not including win bonuses, normal wage, other bonuses, etc.), while other fighters (particularly those not signed) can make only a couple of thousand.
Is it mandatory to wear a cup in UFC?
Yes. Wearing a cup is mandatory in almost every sport I can think of, to avoid injury to the men who compete in them. UFC being a sport where people fight with one another, it is easily possible that they get hurt in their private parts during the fight. So, in order to avoid serious injury to the fighters, they are forced to wear a cup during the fight. In fact, fighters will wear a cup even while training.
