Elias Theodorou Says He Still Makes Good Money Through His Endorsements

MMAjunkie recently spoke to Elias Theodorou ahead of his fight at UFC fight Night 130 this weekend. He faces Trevor Smith in Liverpool, England for the event tomorrow. Below are some highlights.

Theodorou on his money through endorsements: “I make just as much as I do with endorsements as I do as a professional fighter, so I don’t have to worry about only receiving half my pay with a loss. So even though I lost to Brad Tavares, I still walked away with a six-figure contract for my hair.”

Theodorou on how he sees myself: “I don’t necessarily see myself as a UFC fighter. I see myself as Elias. And one of the kind of cool things that I’m kind of understanding is, I guess, my potential, in that regard. I have a degree in advertising, so I’m obviously advertising the brand that is myself.”
