Natan Marcoń, one of the most controversial figures in Polish freak fighting, has once again drawn fans’ attention. In a recent video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the 22-year-old influencer and fighter revealed how much he has earned since the start of his career in Fame MMA and Prime MMA events. The sum he gave is impressive and raises questions about earnings in this industry.
Who is Natan Marcoń?
Natan Marcoń is a young online creator who gained fame through his provocative style and conflicts with other freak fighters. His career in combat sports began several years ago, and so far he has fought more than a dozen bouts for organisations such as Fame MMA and Prime MMA, as well as foreign federations. Marcoń is known not only for his skills in the ring but also for his controversial behaviour. In one interview he admitted that his image as a „degenerate” is a deliberate marketing strategy that attracts attention and generates profits.
According to available information, Marcoń has fought at least 16 bouts, including several high-profile fights that drew thousands of viewers. His popularity grew after conflicts with other stars of the freak fight scene, such as Boxdel and other influencers. As he emphasises in his bio on X, he is a „mythomaniac, millionaire, gambler and degenerate”, which only fuels interest in him.
Revealing the earnings: 6.5 million zloty
In the recording, which quickly spread across social media, Marcoń responded to estimates by the AI tool Grok (from xAI), which put his earnings at around 7 million zloty. The fighter corrected this figure, stating: „I have received 6.5 million zloty since the start of my career”. He stressed that this sum includes fight contracts, performance bonuses and other arrangements, but does not count additional sources of income outside the ring.
This is not the first such confession from Marcoń. Earlier, in January 2024, he revealed that he had earned about one million zloty in a month and a half from several „little fights”. One of them ended in a submission after just one second, which sparked a wave of criticism and accusations of staged bouts. Despite this, the fighter maintains that his earnings are real and result from the popularity enjoyed by freak fight events.

Are freak fights a golden business?
Natan Marcoń’s story shows how rapidly the freak fight market is growing in Poland. Organisations such as Fame MMA and Prime MMA attract thousands of viewers, and fighters become celebrities with earnings comparable to professional athletes. However, success comes with controversy: accusations of staged fights, addiction and conflicts. Marcoń himself admits that freak fights are not just a sport but, above all, show business.
Is 6.5 million really true, or is it another provocation? Time will tell, but one thing is certain: Natan Marcoń will continue to stir emotions and generate discussion across the Polish internet.
