UFC's top ranked Sterling says he could have made more money teaching gym class

One of the UFC's top bantamweight fighters sounds like he'll be testing the free agent market, and maybe even leaving MMA altogether, as the money just doesn't seem to be flowing in.

Nobody said MMA was going to be an easy road, and I doubt top prospect, turned top ranked bantamweight Aljamain Sterling thought as much when he traded in his singlet for a pair of MMA gloves. But, it sounds like he's still found making a living as an MMA fighter a lot harder than expected, especially considering how quickly he's shot up the ranks in the UFC.
