Sorry. It sounds like a joke but I don't have a punch line. This is why they are so similar to strippers:
"Smith, a UFC bantamweight fighter, said FedEx drivers and exotic dancers are examples of workers who have been misclassified as independent contractors in the past, when they were really treated like employees. She believes the UFC treats fighters like employees, but pays them and avoids certain benefits like they are independent contractors.
“We’re so similar to strippers,” Smith said. “It’s amazing how similar to strippers we are. Because we, like strippers — excuse me, exotic dancers — we use the UFC’s equipment, we are under supervision the entire time that we are doing our thing. We are mandated how much time we’re allowed to be out, we’re wearing a uniform. It’s a long list."

If there’s one job you have to love in order to do it - it’s being a fighter! If you don’t love being a fighter - and you don’t live to fight - then you are really fucked up!
As for dancers, many of them are there because they love the money (not the work). That’s a huge difference.
Sadly, the fighter could have been creative and said that they take more shots to the face - for less money - than a stripper.
