It is well established that being a social media phenomenon guarantees millions of dollars through various sources. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul certainly earns handsomely. However, his girlfriend, Julia Rose, has also made a name for herself and makes quite a lot of money. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jake-Paul-Julia-Rose.png] Jake Paul’s girlfriend earns much more than UFC fighters Aljamain Sterling, Deiveson Figueiredo, and Carla Esparza combined. Let’s take a look at how much exactly. JULIA ROSE IS SIGNIFICANTLY RICHER THAN UFC CHAMPIONS STERLING, FIGUEIREDO, AND ESPARAZA Even though Rose [https://www.instagram.com/juliaroseforpresident/?hl=en] is sometimes overshadowed by her boyfriend Jake Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jake-paul/] because of his global fame, she has established herself as a very popular model. Additionally, she is the founder of the adult magazine, Shagmag. The 27-year-old’s estimated worth is $3 million [https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/models/julia-rose-net-worth/], and she models for many brands, including her own company. To put into perspective, UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aljamain-sterling/] is worth $1 million [https://www.mediareferee.com/aljamain-sterling-2022-net-worth-salary-records-and-endorsements/]. Similarly, fellow UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/deiveson-figueiredo/] is also worth $1 million [https://www.mediareferee.com/deiveson-figueiredo-net-worth/]. Furthermore, UFC women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparaza’s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carla-esparza/] estimated net worth is $462,000 [https://biographytoday.org/carla-esparza-wiki-husband-net-worth-relationship-money-salary/].

A high amount, no doubt; however, Rose trumps that number by half a million, $538,000 to be precise. It just goes to show just how successful the model is. IS ROSE WORTH MORE THAN ALEXANDER VOLKANOVSKI? The three fighters mentioned above aren’t the only ones Rose overpowers in terms of earnings. The UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/] is another champion that falls behind Jake Paul’s girlfriend. Alexander Volkanovski [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1235508756.jpg]LAS VEGAS, NV – SEPTEMBER 25: Alexander Volkanovski of Australia celebrates during his post fight press conference after his win against Brian Ortega in their Featherweight title fight during UFC 266 at T-Mobile Arena on September 25, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Alexander Volkanovski: Net Worth 2024, Record and Business Ventures</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Alexander Volkanovski?</strong></h2>
An Australian professional MMA fighter, 35-year-old Alexander Volkanovski currently fights in the Featherweight division under the greatest promotion of the sport, UFC. He was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, on 29 September 1988.

Despite training in combat sports and even winning two national titles for Greco-Roman wrestling at the early age of 12, by 14 years he opted to try his hands in the Rugby league as a front rower. This won him numerous accolades but as fate would have it, as he turned 23, his interests shifted towards MMA. A fan of UFC events, he debuted for the promotion in 2016.

The noted UFC fighter, Alexander Volkanovski, is currently awaiting his fight against Illia Topuria, at UFC 298, on 17 February 2024.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Alexander Volkanovski's early life</strong></h2>
Volkanovski has mixed ancestry. His mother, Mary Volkanovski, is from Greece, while his father, Tony Volkanovski, has Macedonian ancestry and was born in Yugoslavia. Volkanovski's mixed ancestry inspired him to give himself the moniker 'The Great', following Alexander The Great, who also had a Macedonian-Greek origin.

Reports say that he also has an older sibling who is a fighter as well. 'Volk' was a fervent rugby fan apart from MMA. Further, he also kicked off his athletic career with rugby. He used to play for the Warilla Gorillas as a semi-pro. In the year 2010, he was also awarded the Mick Cronin Medal as the Group 7 Rugby League's best player.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<div class="jsx-901529394 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-901529394 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/AlexanderVolkanovski.png" /></div>
</div>
His initial coach, Joe Lopez, revealed 'Volk' started to train in MMA and Greco-Roman Wrestling when he was 22. Although he started it as an off-season activity to keep himself fit, he soon grew a knack for the sport of MMA and chose it as his livelihood as well.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Alexander Volkanovski's wife and children</h2>
Alexander Volkanovski has been married to his wife Emma Volkanovski since the 12th of October 2012. Although not much is known about Emma's maiden life, Volkanovski in his social media posts made it known that they were high school sweethearts and had dated for 7 years before tying the knot.

Since their marriage, they have become a family of 4, welcoming two daughters. His eldest, Ariana was born in 2015, and his youngest Arlie in 2017.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What isÂ </b><b>Alexander Volkanovski's</b><b> net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
Owing to the huge crowds, 'The Great' draws in his fights, the UFC also provides him with remarkable sums of money for his bouts. As per reports, the Australian currently boasts a net worth of $3.5M.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-3245111776 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1235507372.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Volkanovski also receives his pay per fight, similar to every other UFC fighter. The majority of UFC supporters are also aware that it varies from one fight to another. 'The Great' earned his biggest fight purse to date for his UFC 290 bout against the noted,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/yair-rodriguez/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Yair Rodriguez</strong></a>. Reports suggest that 'Volk' pocketed a massive $2,142,000 for this fight.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Alexander Volkanovski's MMA career and UFC record</h2>
Volkanovski had four fights as an amateur. At 23, he decided to make a career out of mixed martial arts and defeated Gerhard Voigt in his first professional MMA bout. 'The Great' went 3-0 before suffering his first and what would become his only MMA loss, and it came in the welterweight division. Alexander Volkanovski's weight loss, as aforementioned he was a 214-pound rugby player, was the recipe for his success.

After amassing thirteen wins in Australia, Guam, and New Zealand, Volkanovski finally made it to the United States and took over the UFC featherweight division after debuting in the lightweight division. As of 2023, he is at #2 in UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

Alexander Volkanovski dominated his first five opponents in the UFC before fighting returning veteran, Chad Mendes. Although he faced some early adversity against Mendes, Volkanovski turned the tables and knocked him out. He was then matched up against the first UFC featherweight champion, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jose-aldo/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jose Aldo</a>.

As 'The Great' outclassed the legend, Aldo, in his hometown, Brazil, at UFC 237, he received his first-ever title shot against the third-ever UFC featherweight championÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-holloway/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Max Holloway</a>. At UFC 245, 'The Great' conquered Holloway and resolutely won the UFC featherweight championship.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<div class="jsx-1670390786 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-1670390786 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200718010704/max-holloway-alexander-volkanovski.jpg" /></div>
</div>
The duo re-matched at UFC 251. As Max Holloway looked strong in the early rounds, many people thought 'Blessed' did enough to regain his UFC gold. But, the judges had other thoughts and awarded the decision to 'The Great'. With two wins over Holloway, Volkanovski inched his way toward the GOAT status in the featherweight division.

In 2021, he made his second title defense against Brian Ortega on September 25, 2021, at <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-266/" target="_self" rel="noopener">UFC 266: </a>Alexander Volkanovski vs. Brian Ortega. Alexander Volkanovski's record in UFC stood at an impressive 10-0.

Alexander Volkanovski had his next fight in the main event of UFC 273 PPV against '<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chan-sung-jung/" target="_self" rel="noopener">The Korean Zombie</a>' Chan Sung Jung at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. 'Volk' put on a display of his insane striking prowess, finishing off Jung in the fourth round of the bout.

Moving on, 'The Great' once again faced his former rival Max Holloway at UFC 276. But the result wasn't much different.

Volkanovski's only UFC loss to date came in his UFC 284 main event bout against the current UFC Lightweight champ,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Islam Makhachev</a>. 'Volk' decided to move up a division in order to give himself a shot at the coveted 'champ-champ' status. Despite putting up a real enthraller of a bout, the judges ruled in favor of Makhachev via a controversial unanimous decision. Next, he defended his featherweight title against Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290.

Before joining the UFC, Alexander Volkanovski also has one boxing match under his belt. The bout took place on April 17, 2015, at super welterweight inside the Hurstville Entertainment Center, Australia. 'The Great' won the four-round battle via a unanimous decision.

In his pro-MMA career, Alexander Volkanovski has won a championship in every weight class (welterweight, lightweight, featherweight) he has fought at. In the UFC, he claimed a Fight of the Night bonus remarkable performance against Chad Mendes. Also, his title defense against Max Holloway at UFC 276, after which he picked up one loss as well.

Aljamain Sterling

Aljamain Sterling: Net Worth 2023, Record, Salary, and Endorsements What is Aljamain Sterling’s Net Worth 2023? The current UFC Bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling, is undoubtedly one of the most noted figures of the promotion. The &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; often enthralls crowds with his super funky celebrations after winning bouts. Currently standing as the Bantamweight champion of the promotion, there is no doubt that the UFC pays Sterling quite well. As of 2023, the Jamaican-rooted Sterling boasts a net worth of about $2M. Like every other UFC fighter, Sterling also receives his salary per fight. Also, it might vary from one fight to another. Reportedly, &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; bagged a whopping $230,000 as the base salary for his UFC 275 fight against the Russian, Petr Yan. While Sterling had also revealed that his total income from that bout stood at around $400,000. Aljamain Sterling’s early life and education A lot of UFC fans might already know that Sterling carries Jamaican roots. He was born on 31 July 1989 in Uniondale, New York. His father&#8217;s name is Cleveland Sterling, while his mother is named Sophia Sterling. Aljamain spent his childhood along with his seven siblings. Although some of his brothers joined gangs, Sterling took up wrestling in the year 2004 while he was a student at Uniondale High School. He continued to wrestle while he joined Morrisville State College later. But it was a meeting with the current UFC Heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, which got Sterling hooked on MMA. After his initial year, Sterling joined the State University of New York at Cortland and went on to become a two-time NCAA Division III All-American with a record of 87–27. He also secured his bachelor&#8217;s degree in physical education from the same institution. His unusual yet effective wrestling style earned him his nickname, &#8216;Funk Master&#8217;. Aljamain Sterling’s Career Early Career Aljamain Sterling transitioned to MMA after he was once invited by &#8216;Bones&#8217; to try it out at &#8216;The BombSquad gym&#8217; in Ithaca, New York. Sterling probably got so much into it that he decided it chose it as his career option. &#8216;The 33-year-old&#8217; started off his amateur MMA career in the year 2009. He also ramped up 6 wins with just one defeat in his entire amateur MMA career. &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; also started his professional MMA career with a bang as he achieved two straight victories in his first two bouts. He was also awarded a Bantamweight title shot at the &#8216;Ring of Combat 36&#8217;. Sterling won the bout via a split decision to claim the ROC Bantamweight championship. However, it also proved to be Sterling&#8217;s final bout for the promotion. Following that, &#8216;the 33-year-old&#8217; joined &#8216;Cage Fury Fighting Championships&#8217; where he repeated his previous feat. Sterling&#8217;s first-round TKO victory over Evan Chmieleski right at his CFFC debut earned him a shot at the vacant Bantamweight championship of the promotion. &#8216;The Jamaican-American&#8217; defeated his opponent Sean Santella via a unanimous decision to claim the CFFC Bantamweight championship to his name as well. He also defended his title on three occasions post this win. Every time it was a rear-naked choke by Sterling that finished off his opponents. &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; then made his way into the UFC with an undefeated 8-0 professional record. UFC Sterling made his UFC debut against Cody Gibson. He started with a bang and won the bout via a unanimous decision. &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; was always a decent bantamweight. The pivotal matchup of his career was a bout against Marlon Moraes. Aljamain Sterling vs Marlon Moraes ended in a devastating KO loss for Sterling in just 67 seconds. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; JUNE 06: Aljamain Sterling prepares to fight Cory Sandhagen in their bantamweight bout during the UFC 250 event at UFC APEX on June 06, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) After this loss, Sterling stacked a four-fight win streak and beat Cory Sandhagen at UFC 250 in a virtual title eliminator bout. &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; got a quick finish as he ended proceedings via first-round submission (RNC) in just 88 seconds. He won his first &#8216;Performance of the Night&#8217; award for this fight. UFC Bantamweight Championship Aljamain Sterling fought Petr Yan for the UFC Bantamweight championship on March 6, 2021, at UFC 259. &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; won the title as the referee disqualified the champion for not abiding by the rules (illegal knee strike to a downed/grounded opponent). He became the first UFC fighter to claim the belt via a disqualification. Sterling took on &#8216;No Mercy&#8217; once again in his first title defense bout at UFC 273. Despite putting quite some resistance, Yan&#8217;s efforts fell short to earn him a victory as Sterling was declared the winner via a split decision.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Sterling also took on the famed former UFC Bantamweight kingpin, T.J. Dillashaw, at UFC 280 for his next title defense. But, Dillashaw dislocated his shoulder in the first round of the bout, which made things comparatively easier for Sterling. He brought Dillashaw to the canvas after a few strong strikes and ended the bout with some brutal ground and pound in the second round itself. Sterling faced former UFC champ-champ, Henry Cejudo at UFC 288 and came out with a win via split decision. &#8216;Funk Master&#8217; solidified his position as a bantamweight legend after defeating &#8216;Triple C&#8217;.
