4. Waiting for Red Panties: Khabib Nurmagomedov
(Career Disclosed Earnings: $188,000)

Khabib really wants a fight with Conor McGregor. It’s not hard to see why, Khabib has not been paid well throughout his MMA career. He’s 24-0, but I’m sure he’d trade in a couple of losses for a few bigger pay cheques.

5 of Khabib’s last 7 scheduled fights have been cancelled. It’s sort of hard to earn when you don’t work. He’s fought 3 times in the last 4 years. It also becomes difficult to get that fight with Conor you want when you make it to the cage so rarely.

When he does fight he is a pleasure to watch however, and his post-fight interviews are often instant classics.
