The model joined the promotion as a ring girl back in 2006 and caught the eye of many fight fans that year. She has won the ‘Ringcard Girl of the Year’ award for a total of six times.
Meanwhile, Amanda Nunes has been with the UFC since 2013 and has conquered the bantamweight and the featherweight division. Many consider her to be one of the greatest female fighters in the promotion’s history.
As of March 2022, Amanda Nunes stands second in the UFC women’s pound-for-pound rankings. Even though Nunes has excelled and archived the highest degree of success in her profession, she is still worth less than a ring girl.
This speaks of the issue of underpaid fighters in the UFC. According to sources, Amanda Nunes is worth 4 million dollars. Whereas Arianny Celeste is worth 4.5 million dollars.

Amanda Nunes recently lost her bantamweight title to ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ at UFC 269 last year. Julianna Pena defeated Amanda Nunes and caused one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. The Brazilian lost the bout after a second-round submission.
