Sean Woodson with his sponsor, Manscaped SOURCE: Instagram From the basic understanding that newbie MMA fighters rake in on average of $10,000 for just lining up and an additional $10k, if they become victorious, Woodson career earnings since 2013 must-have likely reached close to or even more than $100,000.
Also now that he is a UFC fighter, he must be pulling in some gainful stipends from the company's default sponsorship partner, Reebok. That's $3,500 per fight for competitors with three or fewer fights. Speaking of which, Woodson aside from the octagon has been seen promoting several regional brands like Cliff Bars, Combat Corner, Onnit, Defense Soap, HKA USA, Diamond MMA, Dethrone, Trifecta, and Manscaped.
