Strawweight fighters Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill put on a clinic to close out UFC Fight Night: Waterson vs Hill. Their fight went to the judges’ scorecard, with Waterson securing the win. Following a divisional fight, it is common to discuss the future of the championship. Hence, Dana White revealed that the matchmakers were working on Zhang Weili’s next defense. The UFC President said [https://youtu.be/n7STWGIoQhw?t=82], “We’re working on that right now.” When asked if the defense would be against former champion Rose Namajunas, Dana White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/] replied, “Well, that’s the fight we want to make. So we’re working on it. She just had surgery after her last fight.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/rose-2.jpg] Rose Namajunas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rose-namajunas/] featured on the inaugural PPV on Fight Island. She took on Jessica Andrade and claimed a razor-thin split decision win. However, she broke her nose and had a swollen eye in the fight. As a result, she underwent surgery and is on the sidelines. As per the rankings [https://www.ufc.com/rankings], the top-ranked ‘Thug Rose’ is next in line for the title shot and the announcement should just be a formality. Weili claimed her twenty-first consecutive career win to hold on to her strawweight title in a Fight of the Year [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-248-news-michael-bisping-francis-ngannou-hail-the-fight-between-zhang-weili-joanna-jedrzejczyk/] bout at UFC 248. She beat Joanna Jedrzejczyk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joanna-jedrzejczyk/] in a back-and-forth battle. DANA WHITE KEEN ON BOOKING THE UFC STRAWWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT SOON The other UFC titles have all been defended or are scheduled to be defended in the upcoming months. The exception is ‘Magnum’s’ belt and it will be interesting to see if the UFC goes ahead with the proposed bout. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Zhang-Weili-vs-Joanna-Jedrzejczyk.jpg] Zhang Weili is unbeaten in the UFC and holds a 21-1 professional record [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Weili-Zhang-186663]. Meanwhile, Namajunas is one of the toughest strawweight fighters on the planet. She can withstand insane levels of damage and does not know when to give up and has been stopped just twice in her career. Weili has claimed 10 wins via KO, and securing another one against the ‘Boogeywoman’ will push her to new heights. It will help both fighters grow. The matchup has another ‘Fight of the year’ candidate written all over it.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dana White? </strong></h2>
Dana Frederick White Jr. is a name that every MMA fanatic knows. From running away from mobsters to running the biggest MMA promotion in the world, White has come a long way. An organization he and his friend Lorenzo Fertitta bought for $2 million, now stands at nearly $7-8 million.

He played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of 2024, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.

</figcaption></figure>
White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, a bouncer at an Irish bar, and as a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch drunk boxer (someone suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to head trauma injury)Â and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's parents</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents. His mother was a nurse by profession and their move to Vegas was in pursuit of a better livelihood.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her sonÂ <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Similarly,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a>Â she said,Â <em>"He's not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's wife and children</b></h2>
UFC President is married to Anne, whom he met in eighth grade, and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The couple is blessed with three children, two sons- Dana III, Aidan, and one daughter Savannah.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White's net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.

Apart from this, he also owns "Power Slap," alongside ventures inside the UFC like "Dana White's Contender Series." This surely helps him bank quite a sum, alongside his occasional big wins in gambling. For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Is Dana White the owner of UFC?</strong></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.

<p id="node---34197-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_self" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation</strong></h2>
Over the last few years, Dana White's health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left.

He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White.

He would soon make <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-why-did-dana-white-lose-so-much-weight-real-reason-behind-86-hour-water-fast-carried-out-by-the-ufc-ceo/">massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets</a>. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn't help but share it with the world.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1914362 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/NINTCHDBPICT000765320323-380x315.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="315" />

Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world's biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements</strong></h2>
A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3>Power Slap</h3>
</li>
</ul>
White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3><strong>Throw One</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,-
<ul style="list-style-type: circle">
 	<li data-sourcepos="6:5-6:88"><strong>Power Slap:</strong> The controversial slap-fighting organization.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="7:5-7:53"><strong>Ridiculousness:</strong>Â A popular comedy clip show.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="8:5-8:75"><strong>Street League Skateboarding:</strong>Â A professional skateboarding league.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="9:5-9:62"><strong>Nitro Circus:</strong> A live-action stunt performance group.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="10:5-10:64"><strong>Travis Pastrana's NRX Rallycar:</strong>Â A rally racing series.</li>
</ul>
White's involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana White's awards and accomplishments</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Armed Forces Foundation - Patriot Award (2009)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">World MMA Awards - Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Other accomplishments - Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's foundation and charity</b></h2>
The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>'s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai.

Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s house</strong></h2>
The UFC head's first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul <b>Frank Fertitta </b>for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion.

The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection</strong></h2>
Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a 'rusted out Datsun B210.' Here are some of his prized possessions-
<ul>
 	<li>A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company</li>
 	<li>Ducati and a MV Agusta F4</li>
 	<li>A classic red Ferrari Testarossa</li>
 	<li>A black Ferrari Spider F430</li>
 	<li>1971 Plymouth Barracuda</li>
 	<li>BMW M6 Gran Coupe</li>
</ul>
Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6.

Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise.

And the pair appointed White as the President.  via Getty In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â announced a merger with WWE to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million. In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a &#8220;broken business&#8221; in 2022. Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer. Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation Over the last few years, Dana White&#8217;s health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left. He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White. He would soon make massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn&#8217;t help but share it with the world. Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world&#8217;s biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul. Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-  Power Slap  White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.  Throw One  It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,- Power Slap: The controversial slap-fighting organization. Ridiculousness:Â A popular comedy clip show. Street League Skateboarding:Â A professional skateboarding league. Nitro Circus: A live-action stunt performance group. Travis Pastrana&#8217;s NRX Rallycar:Â A rally racing series. White&#8217;s involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC. Dana White&#8217;s awards and accomplishments Armed Forces Foundation &#8211; Patriot Award (2009) World MMA Awards &#8211; Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23) Wrestling Observer Newsletter &#8211; Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16) Other accomplishments &#8211; Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009) Dana White&#8217;s foundation and charity The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ Dustin Poirier&#8216;s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims. Dana Whiteâ€™s house The UFC head&#8217;s first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul Frank Fertitta for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion. The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king. Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a &#8216;rusted out Datsun B210.&#8217; Here are some of his prized possessions- A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company Ducati and a MV Agusta F4 A classic red Ferrari Testarossa A black Ferrari Spider F430 1971 Plymouth Barracuda BMW M6 Gran Coupe Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6. Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise. How to contact Dana White?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2022: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsement</h2>
Joanna Jedrzejczyk was one of the most dominant UFC champions. She might be the most dangerous athlete now, but it was not always her goal. Born in Poland, Joanna took up fitness classes at 16. She then transitioned to Muay Thai and kickboxing.

In 2012, she made her professional MMA debut and disposed of her first three opponents in two rounds.

With an undefeated record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joanna-Jedrzejczyk-101411" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">6-0</a>, Joanna made her UFC debut. As of May 2022, she is unranked in the UFC's rankings.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Record</h2>
She dominated Juliana Lima in her first UFC match. Her next match against Claudia Gadelha was rather controversial. Many believed that the Polish star lost the fight. Yet the judges granted Jedrzejczyk the split decision victory.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk then fought the former strawweight champion, Carla Esparza. The 'Boogeywoman' established her dominance early and tore apart the former champion. She made Esparza look like an amateur inside the cage. The referee had no option but to call off the fight in the second round.

Joanna destroyed her next five opponents and almost came close to breaking Ronda Rousey's record for most title defenses by a woman. Unfortunately, she lost her title when she attempted to defend it for the sixth time.

[caption id="attachment_506940" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-506940" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210107203558/GettyImages-1180420472.jpg" alt="Joanna Jedrzejczyk" width="1920" height="1323" /> TAMPA, FLORIDA - OCTOBER 11: Joanna Jedrzejczyk of Poland poses on the scale during the UFC Fight Night weigh-in at the Westin Tampa Waterside on October 11, 2019 in Tampa, Florida.

Going into the fight with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rose-namajunas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rose Namajunas</a>, Joanna talked a lot of trash and possibly lost a couple of fans. Although she was a heavy favorite to win the fight, she was stopped in the very first round. It was her first-ever MMA loss. Joanna tried to reclaim the belt in her next fight, but was unsuccessful.

She returned to the win column after defeating Tecia Torres at UFC Fight Night: Alvarez vs. Poirier 2. After the win; the Pole fought one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC, Valentina <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valentina-shevchenko/">Shevchenko,</a> for the vacant women's flyweight championship. However, she lost the bout via a unanimous decision.

Jedrzejczyk fought Michelle Waterson in 2019 and won the fight. What came after the Waterson fight was the blockbuster fight against former women's strawweight champion Zhang Weili for her title. The match was one of the most interesting fights in the UFC's history. However, Jedrzejczyk lost the fight via a split decision and left the octagon with a deformed face.

She holds a record of <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/3d6749c4267da18f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10-4</a> in her UFC career.

She is now slated for a rematch against Weili at UFC 275: Teixeira vs. Prochazka.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Fighting Style</h2>
Jedrzejczyk has fundamentally sound striking. Her extensive experience in Muay Thai and Kickboxing sets her apart from the rest. She is relentless in her offense and can move in and out on her opponent easily.

She is also incredibly difficult to take down. And even if someone takes her down, it is impossible to keep her there.

Her brutal trash talk has also become a part of her game. She verbally destroys her opponents ahead of the fight and tries to establish psychological dominance.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Achievements</h2>
Jedrzejczyk has won five <a href="https://muaythai.sport/joanna-jedrzejczyk-from-ifma-champion-to-global-superstar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gold medals</a> in IMFA World Championships.

Joanna has won three Fight of the Night Bonuses and One Performance of the Night Bonus. She holds a proud record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joanna-Jedrzejczyk-101411" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">16-4-0</a> in her MMA career.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Injury</h2>
The 'Boogeywoman' attempted to recapture the strawweight gold in 2020 against Weili Zhang. The bout was an absolute war, and many pundits even considered it as the Fight of the Year. During the match, Joanna suffered one of the nastiest injuries in MMA. The Polish fighter developed a massive <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-248-scary-images-of-joanna-jedrzejczyk-after-the-fight-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hematoma</a> on her forehead and was unrecognizable by the end of the fight.

Although Joanna did not win the title, she definitely won a lot of fans that night.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Controversy</h2>
Before her fight against Zhang Weili, Jedrzejczyk uploaded a <a href="https://www.scmp.com/sport/martial-arts/mixed-martial-arts/article/3048241/ufc-joanna-jedrzejczyk-apologises-zhang-weili" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">photoshopped picture</a> of herself and the Chinese champion. In the picture, Joanna was wearing a gas mask, referring to the Coronavirus outbreak in China. This move upset many fans, and Zhang even fired back at the former champion. Nevertheless, Jedrzejczyk issued an apology afterward.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Net Worth and Salary 2022</h2>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the UFC. She was born on June 29, 1992. Namajunas started her MMA career in the Invicta Fighting Championships and won her first two fights by submissions. As of 2023, she sits at #8 in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings and is a former UFC women's strawweight champion.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: UFC Career</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose made her UFC debut against Carla Esparza and lost the bout (the fight for the inaugural UFC strawweight title) and championship belt via submission. However, she immediately bounced back and claimed three consecutive victories against Angela Hill, Paige VanZant, and Tecia Torres.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After defeating Michelle Waterson, Namajunas earned a title shot against then-champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Back then, Joanna was undefeated and, as expected, Rose was the underdog in the fight.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose shocked the world when she stopped Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the first round at UFC 217 and was crowned as the UFC's third strawweight champion. Although Namajunas was considered better on the ground, she defeated Jedrzejczyk by outclassing her on the feet. And to prove that it wasn't a fluke, Namajunas beat Jedrzejczyk once again in a rematch.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With only one title defense, 'Thug' lost her title to Jessica Andrade via a brutal body slam KO in the second round at UFC 237. However, she bounced back and won the rematch against Andrade at UFC 251.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Namajunas' win against Andrade earned her another title shot. She clashed against then-champion Zhang Weili at UFC 261. Rose became a two-time UFC women's strawweight champion by claiming a highlight-reel head kick KO in the first round.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She ramped up another title defense in a rematch against Zhang Weili on November 06, 2021, at UFC 268. But 'Thug's' last UFC bout ended in another defeat against her noted former rival Carla Esparza. 'Cookie Monster' earned a unanimous decision at UFC 274 to hand Namajunas the fourth loss of her UFC career. She holds a record of 9-4 in the UFC.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She went to the flyweight division for a battle with Manon Fiorot and ended up on the losing side of the bout at UFC on ESPN+ 84. Now, she has just secured her first victory at flyweight against Amanda Ribas at UFC Vegas 89 via a unanimous decision.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Fighting Style</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose is a striker and her footwork is one of the best in the UFC. Besides that, she has perfected her jab. She is also a black belt in Taekwondo and Karate and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Thus, she is also an elite grappler.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Achievements</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Namajunas holds a stellar record of 13-6-0 in her MMA career. 'Thug Rose' has earned three 'Fight of the Night' and three 'Performance of the Night' bonuses. Namajunas also claimed the 2017 Fighter of the Year award. This was the year where she tasted UFC gold as a 25-year-old.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She has also achieved wins over a number of experienced veterans. Namajunas has a black belt in Taekwondo and Karate. Apart from that, she is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Net Worth and Salary 2023</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As of 2023, Namajunas has an estimated UFC career earnings of $1.78M, according to The Sports Daily. Her biggest paycheck ($572,000) came from her sophomore bout against Carla 'Cookie Monster' Esparza in 2022. Reports say that it also included the highest salary of her UFC career, which stands at $500,000.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The former UFC fighter turned kickboxer, Pat Barry, mentioned her first meeting with Namajunas as a fight. But it was 'Thug's' fearless attitude of punching him in the face that got him attracted to her. After Barry transitioned to Glory kickboxing in 2013 the two got engaged in the year 2014.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">But the couple soon got into trouble with Barry's substance abuse which also took a toll on Namajunas' performance. But he has come clean currently, and as per Namajunas, has become a lot more supportive than he used to be.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Endorsements 2023</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The former UFC champ inked an agreement with Reebok in 2019. Reports also suggest that she has endorsement deals with major brands like Puma and Adidas. As per 'The Sportslite', Rose Namajunas' total earnings from these sponsorships are reported to be around $500,000.</span>

Rose Namajunas

Rose Namajunas is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the UFC. She was born on June 29, 1992. Namajunas started her MMA career in the Invicta Fighting Championships and won her first two fights by submissions. As of 2023, she sits at #8 in the UFC women&#8217;s pound-for-pound rankings and is a former UFC women&#8217;s strawweight champion. Rose Namajunas: UFC Career Rose made her UFC debut against Carla Esparza and lost the bout (the fight for the inaugural UFC strawweight title) and championship belt via submission. However, she immediately bounced back and claimed three consecutive victories against Angela Hill, Paige VanZant, and Tecia Torres. After defeating Michelle Waterson, Namajunas earned a title shot against then-champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Back then, Joanna was undefeated and, as expected, Rose was the underdog in the fight. Rose shocked the world when she stopped Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the first round at UFC 217 and was crowned as the UFC&#8217;s third strawweight champion. Although Namajunas was considered better on the ground, she defeated Jedrzejczyk by outclassing her on the feet. And to prove that it wasn&#8217;t a fluke, Namajunas beat Jedrzejczyk once again in a rematch. With only one title defense, &#8216;Thug&#8217; lost her title to Jessica Andrade via a brutal body slam KO in the second round at UFC 237. However, she bounced back and won the rematch against Andrade at UFC 251. Namajunas&#8217; win against Andrade earned her another title shot. She clashed against then-champion Zhang Weili at UFC 261. Rose became a two-time UFC women&#8217;s strawweight champion by claiming a highlight-reel head kick KO in the first round. She ramped up another title defense in a rematch against Zhang Weili on November 06, 2021, at UFC 268. But &#8216;Thug&#8217;s&#8217; last UFC bout ended in another defeat against her noted former rival Carla Esparza. &#8216;Cookie Monster&#8217; earned a unanimous decision at UFC 274 to hand Namajunas the fourth loss of her UFC career. She holds a record of 9-4 in the UFC. She went to the flyweight division for a battle with Manon Fiorot and ended up on the losing side of the bout at UFC on ESPN+ 84. Now, she has just secured her first victory at flyweight against Amanda Ribas at UFC Vegas 89 via a unanimous decision. Rose Namajunas: Fighting Style Rose is a striker and her footwork is one of the best in the UFC. Besides that, she has perfected her jab. She is also a black belt in Taekwondo and Karate and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Thus, she is also an elite grappler. Rose Namajunas: Achievements Namajunas holds a stellar record of 13-6-0 in her MMA career. &#8216;Thug Rose&#8217; has earned three &#8216;Fight of the Night&#8217; and three &#8216;Performance of the Night&#8217; bonuses. Namajunas also claimed the 2017 Fighter of the Year award. This was the year where she tasted UFC gold as a 25-year-old. She has also achieved wins over a number of experienced veterans. Namajunas has a black belt in Taekwondo and Karate. Apart from that, she is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Rose Namajunas: Net Worth and Salary 2023 As of 2023, Namajunas has an estimated UFC career earnings of $1.78M, according to The Sports Daily. Her biggest paycheck ($572,000) came from her sophomore bout against Carla &#8216;Cookie Monster&#8217; Esparza in 2022. Reports say that it also included the highest salary of her UFC career, which stands at $500,000. The former UFC fighter turned kickboxer, Pat Barry, mentioned her first meeting with Namajunas as a fight. But it was &#8216;Thug&#8217;s&#8217; fearless attitude of punching him in the face that got him attracted to her. After Barry transitioned to Glory kickboxing in 2013 the two got engaged in the year 2014. But the couple soon got into trouble with Barry&#8217;s substance abuse which also took a toll on Namajunas&#8217; performance. But he has come clean currently, and as per Namajunas, has become a lot more supportive than he used to be. Rose Namajunas: Endorsements 2023 The former UFC champ inked an agreement with Reebok in 2019. Reports also suggest that she has endorsement deals with major brands like Puma and Adidas. As per &#8216;The Sportslite&#8217;, Rose Namajunas&#8217; total earnings from these sponsorships are reported to be around $500,000. How to Contact Rose Namajunas?

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Zhang Weili? </strong></h2>
Zhang Weili is one of the most dangerous fighters on the UFC roster. She is a Chinese mixed martial artist and became the first fighter from her country to become a champion in the UFC after she defeated Jessica Andrade at UFC Fight Night in August 2019. The currently two-time UFC Strawweight Champion is also one of the most noted faces in the women's division. The UFC audiences seem to love her 'talk less work more' attitude thoroughly.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Zhang Weiliâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
Weili was born on 13 August 1989 in the Handan, Hebei located in the Southwest region of China. Her father was a miner and her mother raised him as a homemaker. The little troublemaker that Weili was, she was always interested in the fighting game.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-230139" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200227212011/Weili-Zhang-China-Flag-558x315.jpg" alt="" width="558" height="315" />

Inspired by Kung Fu movies, Weili began training in martial arts at an early age. After training in Shaolin Kung Fu, she transitioned to Sanda and Shuai Jiao. Finally, she took up BJJ. While several sources sing songs of Weili's athletic prowess, there aren't any detailed references to her school itself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Zhang Weili's family, partner, and children</h2>
As mentioned above, Weili's father was a miner who is enjoying retirement currently, while her mother is a homemaker. That said, their names are known to the media. She also has an older brother who played a huge part in getting her to where she is today.

Reports state that her brother used to work as a gold trader. But after noticing Weili's MMA talents, he gave up his job to support her with training and other routines. To date, he hasn't given up Weili's side as he currently works in the gyms where 'Magnum' trains.

Looking at the privacy Weili maintains regarding her personal life, it's quite apparent that there are pretty few reports about her current relationship status. While some reports also say that she is in a relationship with the CEO of 'Stride Gym', Ruben Payan Jr, some suggest that she is currently not romantically involved with anyone. Weili also has no kids.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's net worth in 2024</b></h2>
Looking at the superb prowess of Weili and her ability to put on an absolute show, it's obvious that her UFC contract is rather good. As of 2024, Weili boasts a total net worth of about $2M. That said, a major chunk of that $2 million came from other big investments and businesses she has undertaken. Â According to certain reports,Â  the champion takes home a purse of $250,000 through her 10 fights under the Las Vegas-based promotion.

Weili earned the biggest payday of her entire UFC career for her UFC 248 bout against 'The Boogeywoman' Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Reports say she pocketed an amount of $290,000 after her victory against Jedrzejczyk.

Apart from her earnings from the UFC, 'Magnum' has also made a considerable amount of wealth from her endorsements.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Zhang Weiliâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Currently, she promotes a number of brands, like Perfect Sports, Heilan Home, and Under Armour.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's MMA career and highlights</b></h2>
Weili took up martial arts at the young age of 6 years. She started training in Shaolin Kung Fu under the tutelage of a local master. Her passion for Kung Fu films played a massive part in fueling her interest. After continuing in regular school until the age of 12, Weili's parents sent her to a specialized martial arts school. She started training in Sanda and Shuai jiao, a Chinese form of wrestling.

She also won the Sanda tournament of the Hebei province multiple times. Her prowess also earned her a spot in the Jiangsu province Sanda team. However, she picked up an injury during her training sessions for the same. It restricted her from competing in the tournament.

After moving to Beijing in 2010, Weili had to support herself completely. She took up a number of jobs during this time, ending up as a gym instructor. She got hooked on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and also started training in it. But, it was her friendship with the Chinese MMA legend, Wu Haotian, that finally helped her turn into a professional MMA athlete.

Haotian once brought Weili to her training facility, Black Tiger Fight Club. There, his coach noticed the spark that Weili had in martial arts. He suggested 'Magnum' to train in MMA and she was happy to oblige. After training for almost 3 years, the 34-year-old decided to take up MMA as her profession.

Zhang made her professional MMA debut in 2013. Unfortunately, she lost her first-ever match via a unanimous decision. She then finished her next twelve opponents in under three rounds. She saw the third round for the first time in her bout against Aline Sattelmayer at Kunlun Fight MMA 12.

Weili extended her win streak to 16 before signing with the UFC. The Chinese fighter dominated her first three opponents in the promotion. "Magnum" then fought former champion, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jessica-andrade/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jessica Andrade</a>, in her fourth bout.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1082484" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-from-2022-06-12-08-51-50-560x309.png" alt="" width="560" height="309" />

It did not even take Weili a full minute to finish Andrade with debilitating knees and punches. She became the first Chinese UFC champion, and she did it in her home country. Then, she went on to defend her UFC women's strawweight title against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joanna-jedrzejczyk/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joanna JÄ™drzejczykdrzejczyk</a>.

Namajunas ended Weili's win streak with a highlight-reel head kick KO in the first round.

Since then, Weili has fought in three more fights and won two of them. After her second loss to 'Thug Rose' at UFC 268, she finished off her bold rival Joanna JÄ™drzejczyk once again at the UFC 275 with a spinning-back fist KO. Moreover, she reclaimed the UFC Strawweight championship in her last bout against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carla-esparza/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carla Esparza</a>Â at UFC 281. As of now, he still holds the championship and stands as a two-time UFC Strawweight champion.

Weili has admitted that her prowess in the UFC has boosted her to the status of a star in her home country of China. They believe Weili has led the way for Chinese martial artists, setting an example of how nothing is impossible if you have the dedication to achieve it. She is also the face of the UFC's ventures in China, which has also added to her popularity.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's record and stats</b></h2>
After a thoroughly dominant early professional career, Weili currently boasts a UFC record of 9-2 while her overall MMA record stands at a remarkable 24-3-0. She won the 'Fight of the Night' bonus for her fight with Joanna Jedrzejczyk and a 'Performance of the Night' bonus for her fight with Jessica Andrade.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's fighting style</b></h2>
Weili showcases superb aggression in her fights. She likes pressuring down her opponents and fires a collection of kicks and hand strikes in the process.

Despite having commendable control on the ground game too, it might be said that Weili likes to fight standing up. Like her favorite MMA fighter,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tony-ferguson/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Tony Ferguson</a>, Weili likes to pressure her opponent. She prefers to strike with her opponent, though she can fight anywhere.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Zhang Weili's titles</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Weili is currently the undisputed UFC Women's Strawweight Champion, a title she had held once before. During her time at JLF, she had also been crowned the Female Strawweight champion. Prior to that, she had been the Top FC Strawweight Champion.Â </span>
