mma and bjj tournaments without cash prize

[kingofjong]

Hello

I was wondering are there any bjj and mma tournaments in USA without cash prize. I get disability payments from the government for some mental health issues which prevents me from making any income or doing any work. Hence I was wondering if there is any good tournaments without cash prize. I have looked at the IBJJF, ADCC, and PFL but they offer cash prizes. I couldn't find one without cash prize.

Thank you

There are tons of local BJJ tournaments without any sort of cash prizes. Typically only the largest and most prestigious events will have cash prizes.

As far as MMA goes, most fighters compete at the amateur level before they graduate to professional events.
