She's like the female David Terrell, all that potential but all of that time off

Too bad you can't get paid maternity leave when your money mostly comes in the form of a lump sums.

We'll see with her next fight she got crushed by Sarah McMann and then she won a horrible fight with some girl the UFC immediately cut.
Pena's a bit of a bigger deal because she's still going to be under thirty and she was close to a title shot

She can make appearances at viewing parties and such and get paid that way. Fighting isn't the only way fighters make their money, especially the more high profile they get.
