We take a look at the lives of UFC ring girls and how much they earn as an annual salary

In an extravagant brand like UFC, every aspect of the sport is detailed to another level. This even includes ring girls who carry a sign with the number of the round that is about to take place. With mega fights happening throughout the year, the ring girls add spice to the fight with a pre-match gesture leading to a build-up.

UFC girls earn more money once they are selected for the main pay-per-view event. The pay varies depending on the intensity of the fight and are also given bonuses based on performance.
