Do you think it's possible to attend college, work, and train for UFC?

Actually, there are some UFC fighters with a college degree.
If you want to pursuit a career in MMA, it is of course better if you can train full-time. However, low-level MMA won´t pay the bill. Hence, most MMA fighters have at least a part-time job along. Even in the UFC, many fighters have regular jobs due to low salaries payed by the organization.
I would recommend to pursuit a "normal" career. Only few fighters get rich by fighting. Even Mark Coleman, a former UFC champ, had to start a gofundme fundraising to be able to pay his medical bills.
