Alpar set a goal of $30,000, explaining how she's looking to train more in her MMA career. She said in an Instagram post the money will go toward basic necessities such as food and gym fees in addition to larger expenses.
The 30-year-old beat Shanna Young on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2019 and debuted with the UFC with a third-round knockout loss at UFC Fight Night 178 last September.
As part of his ongoing feud with UFC President Dana White, Paul has raised the issue of the compensation the promotion distributes to its fighters. He compared the situation (warning: link contains profanity) to the recording industry and contended that fighters "get locked up into these s--tty contracts and they don’t know what to do."
Alpar's case raises a different concern for those attempting to climb the ranks in the sport.
