UFC star Jimmy Crute lives in van and ‘hates paying bills and rent’ despite earning £88k for Fight Island win
UFC star Jimmy Crute lives in a van despite rapidly rising through the MMA ranks.
The Aussie sent a message to Dana White and the light heavyweight division with a stunning display back in October.
He needed less than two minutes to deliver a devastating right to knockout Modestas Bukauskas in the first on Fight Island.
He pocketed £88,000 from UFC for his efforts in the Middle East – but none of that will be going towards his home.
In fact, the 24-year-old revealed he ‘hates paying rent’ so much that he lives in his van.
Crute said:”I’m a van life enthusiast. I’ve done it for ages before Covid.
“Man, I just f***ing hate paying bills. I hate paying rent.
“It’s something I wanted to do even before I got signed, I just liked the idea of van life.
“I’ve decked it all out myself, it has running water, solar power and I’ve done everything myself on it.”

‘The Brute’ added: “It’s just a little project and I don’t really care what normal is.
“I don’t give a f*** what people think about me.
“I just do what I want to do.”
