UFC will have its first-ever pay-per-view event in Singapore on June 11, 2022, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang. However, two of the most prominent names in the industry, Dana White and Joe Rogan, will be absent for UFC 275. Joe Rogan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joe-rogan/], the 54-year-old UFC color commentator, has been a part of major UFC events in America. However, he rarely travels internationally for the events. Hence, he will be out of action this Saturday. Meanwhile, former middleweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping will fill the void. He will join the broadcast [https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/7/23157875/joe-rogan-replaced-michael-bisping-ahead-ufc-275-mma] team with Daniel Cormier [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/] and Jon Anik at UFC 275.

In talks with Spinnin’ Backfist MMA Show, White revealed the same. “It’s my son’s 21st birthday this weekend… Me and my son are gonna gamble together for the first time on his birthday on Thursday, then we’re flying down to Miami for the weekend… Caesar’s Palace, baby… it’s the best casino in town… Even if they kick me out, I’ll still be telling you they’re the best in town.” White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/] said. UFC 275: SINGAPORE UFC 275 is the first-ever UFC event that will take place in Singapore and the fight card reflects some action-packed bouts. An intriguing light heavyweight title fight between champion Glover Teixeira [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/glover-teixeira/] and challenger Jiří Procházka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jiri-prochazka/] will headline the event. Valentina Shevchenko [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/valentina-shevchenko-jessica-andrade-ufc-261-11-1.jpg]Apr 24, 2021; Jacksonville, Florida, USA; Valentina Shevchenko (Red Gloves) fights Jessica Andrade (Blue Gloves) during UFC 261 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.

<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.

He mistreats people.&#8221; Dana White&#8217;s wife and children 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. What is Dana White&#8217;s net worth in 2024? 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 &#8220;Power Slap,&#8221; alongside ventures inside the UFC like &#8220;Dana White&#8217;s Contender Series.&#8221; 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. Is Dana White the owner of UFC? 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.  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 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Glover Teixeira: UFC career</h2>
'The Sledgehammer' made his UFC debut in the summer of 2012. In his first bout itself, he forced Kyle Kingsbury to tap at 1:53 of the first round. One of the biggest fights of his career was a title match against legendary fighter <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-jones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jon Jones</a>. However, Teixeira lost this fight via a unanimous decision at UFC 172.

Teixeira's last fight was with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/thiago-santos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thiago Santos</a>, which got rescheduled two times as both the fighters <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-breaking-ufc-fighter-glover-teixeira-tests-positive-fight-canceled-thiago-santos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tested</a> positive for the coronavirus.

<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.

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.

[caption id="attachment_506939" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-506939" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210107203532/GettyImages-1211097613.jpg" alt="Joanna Jedrzejczyk" width="1920" height="1563" /> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 07: Joanna Jedrzejczyk at the end of her fight during a split decision loss to Weili Zhang in a strawweight title bout at T-Mobile Arena on March 07, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)[/caption]

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. She has the most title fights in UFC women's history, and she is also the first Polish UFC champion. She <a href="https://wombatsports.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/joanna-jedrzejczyk-takes-wmma-press-award-for-strawweight-of-the-year/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">was</a> the 2014 women's strawweight of the Year.

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>
Joanna has earned over $2,292,000 in her UFC career according to <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2020/03/08/joanna-jedrzejczyk-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Sports Daily</a>.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2022: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsement 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 6-0, Joanna made her UFC debut. As of May 2022, she is unranked in the UFC&#8217;s rankings. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Record 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 &#8216;Boogeywoman&#8217; 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&#8217;s record for most title defenses by a woman. Unfortunately, she lost her title when she attempted to defend it for the sixth time.

(Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC) Going into the fight with Rose Namajunas, 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 Shevchenko, for the vacant women&#8217;s flyweight championship. However, she lost the bout via a unanimous decision. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; MARCH 07: Joanna Jedrzejczyk at the end of her fight during a split decision loss to Weili Zhang in a strawweight title bout at T-Mobile Arena on March 07, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images) Jedrzejczyk fought Michelle Waterson in 2019 and won the fight. What came after the Waterson fight was the blockbuster fight against former women&#8217;s strawweight champion Zhang Weili for her title. The match was one of the most interesting fights in the UFC&#8217;s history. However, Jedrzejczyk lost the fight via a split decision and left the octagon with a deformed face. She holds a record of 10-4 in her UFC career. She is now slated for a rematch against Weili at UFC 275: Teixeira vs. Prochazka. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Fighting Style 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. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Achievements Jedrzejczyk has won five gold medals in IMFA World Championships. She has the most title fights in UFC women&#8217;s history, and she is also the first Polish UFC champion. She was the 2014 women&#8217;s strawweight of the Year. Joanna has won three Fight of the Night Bonuses and One Performance of the Night Bonus. She holds a proud record of 16-4-0 in her MMA career. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Injury The &#8216;Boogeywoman&#8217; 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 hematoma 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. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Controversy Before her fight against Zhang Weili, Jedrzejczyk uploaded a photoshopped picture 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. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Net Worth and Salary 2022 Joanna has earned over $2,292,000 in her UFC career according to The Sports Daily. Jedrzejczyk has an estimated net worth of $4 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Endorsements 2022 In 2015, Joanna struck an endorsement deal with Reebok.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan: Net Worth 2024, JRE Podcast, Wife, and Spotify Deal</b></h2>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Joe Rogan?</b></h2>
We know Joe Rogan as a man with many talents - <em>"stand up comic, mixed martial arts fanatic, psychedelic adventurer, host of the joe rogan experience podcast."Â </em>The 56-year-old initially rose to fame as a stand-up comedian, with a comedy career spanning over two decades.Â  A staple for American television, Rogan has done it all, from hosting popular TV shows to becoming the voice of UFC, and now hosts a million-dollar podcast.

His passion for MMA sprung from practicing the sport since he was 13 years old, and by age 19, he secured the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship. Now he retains significant power in the sport's biggest promotion and has been an integral part of UFC fights, be it in the arena or through The JRE: Fight Companion, outside. So here's a detailed peek at the color commentator's life and achievements.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's</b> e<b>arly life</b></h2>
Joe Rogan was born and brought up in Newark, New Jersey. He was raised in a family with Irish and Italian roots and went to Newton South High School in Massachusetts. He did not pursue higher education and dropped out of the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

The MMA analyst got his start in martial arts as a way to gain self-confidence and learn how to defend himself. Joe Rogan began karate at the age of 14, then taekwondo a year later. He won the lightweight division of the US Open Taekwondo Championship when he was 19 years old, and he later won the full-contact state title in Massachusetts and went on to attain the Grand championship, beating both the middle and heavyweight title holders.

Over the years, Joe Rogan has learned several martial arts, including Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu, and practices yoga and lifts weights to complement his training. He is a black belt under Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, a style of no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and a black belt in gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado.

Rogan's mother is Susan Lembo. His father, Joseph Rogan, was a police officer in Newark and also an amateur boxer. However, his parents divorced when he was young,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-joe-rogan-once-made-an-outrageous-confession-about-his-parents-when-their-mother-is-experiencing-violence-from-the-father/" target="_self" rel="noopener">and his father left the family</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's wife and kids</b></h2>

In 2010, she worked as a model for M Model Management before transitioning to Rent-A-Car as an assistant manager. She has had positions as an account executive for California-based Robert Half Technology and a product analyst for Volvo Motorsports.

</div>
Joe Rogan and Ditzel met in 2001 at a bar in Los Angeles where Ditzel was working as a cocktail waitress. Rogan became a regular customer, frequently visiting the bar until they started seeing each other shortly after. The couple dated for eight years before getting married in 2009.

The couple has three daughters, Kayja Rose Connor, Lola Rogan, and Rosy Rogan.Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-is-joe-rogans-wife-jessica-ditzels-firstborn-the-daughter-of-famous-singer-dino/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan is also the step-father to Ditzel's firstborn daughter</a>, Kayja Rose Connor, whom he legally adopted in 2009 from her former relationship with the late singer Keven 'Dino' Conner.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan net worth 2024</b></h2>
Over the years, Joe Rogan has tried his hand in various fields, which has led him to become a fan-favorite UFC commentator. He secured a multi-million deal with Spotify for his podcast, and as of January 2024, he holds a net worth of about $200 million.

Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience has become one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with millions of listeners and subscribers.

His connection with the UFC dates back to 1997 when he did his first 12 events for free. But over 25 years later, he continues to commentate for the promotion and is paid well for it. It is estimated that he earns around $50,000 per event.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2432110118 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2432110118 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210208130429/GettyImages-1130878148.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
His comedy career also bloomed over the years. Prior to the pandemic, Joe Rogan performed at approximately 4 venues per month, with an average theater capacity of 15,000 seats and an average ticket price of $60. With an estimated capacity of 80%, the calculation would show 4 venues x 15,000 seats x $60/ticket x 80% capacity x 50% cut x 12 months = $17.3 million per year. Additionally, he has released 6 comedy specials, some of which can be found on Netflix, and is estimated to have earned approximately $5 million for his Netflix special.

Joe Rogan is a co-owner of the health and wellness company 'Onnit', which provides supplements, food, and unique fitness equipment. In 2017, Onnit generated around $28 million in annual revenue, and today it is estimated to be close to $50 million per year.

Rogan receives income from multiple sources through his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. He is paid by Spotify, podcast sponsors, and YouTube. The podcast is estimated to have around 200 million downloads per month, which calculates to 200 million downloads per year / 1000 CPM x $20 x 12 months = $48 million per year from podcast sponsors. He is estimated to have 130 million views on YouTube, and with YouTube's CPM, 130 million views per month / 1000 RPM x $4 = $520,000 per month from YouTube Adsense.

Hence, the UFC commentator has an estimated yearly revenue of $110,520,000 from various sources such as UFC commentating ($2 million), comedy shows ($23 million), Onnit ($2 million), Spotify ($30 million), podcast sponsors ($48 million), and YouTube Adsense ($6.2 million).

And with the renewal of his podcast deal with Spotify for a whopping $250 million, it looks like the numbers are going to change for good. He further no longer has the exclusivity clause, which gives him access to other platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts, meaning he would be generating more revenue from them.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's professional career and highlights</b></h2>
Joe Rogan has had a multifaceted career in entertainment, starting with his acting career in the 1990s. He played Frank Valente in 'Hardball' in 1994 and later Joe Garrelli in 'NewsRadio' from 1995 to 1999. He also had guest appearances on several TV shows such as 'Good Morning Miami', 'Just Shoot Me' and 'Silicon Valley'.

Besides acting, Rogan began his stand-up career in 1988 at the Boston-area Stitches comic club and went on to make a name for himself in the comedy world. He appeared on TV shows such as 'Fear Factor', 'The Man Show', 'MADtv', and 'Game Show in My Head'- an American reality talent show.

Rogan's commentary career in the UFC began in 1997 and he has since become a well-known interviewer and color commentator for the sport. He hosted 'Fear Factor' in 2001, and 'Late Friday' from 2001 to 2002. In 2009, he launched his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', which has become one of the most popular podcasts.

One of his most significant business ventures is his partnership with the health and wellness company 'Onnit'. He is an advocate for their products and often mentions them on his podcast.

Apart from this, in collaboration with Higher Primate, who are also sponsors to his famous podcast, Rogan sells exclusive merch that surely doesn't hurt his increasing bank.

Rogan also created 'Mothership,' a safe space for comics around the world. This comedy club is nestled in Austin, Texas and it endorses free speech and anti-cancel culture. Rogan made it abundantly clear, as he jokingly stated, <em>"You can't fire me from my own club!"</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's assets and car collection</b></h2>

The couple has three daughters, Kayja Rose Connor, Lola Rogan, and Rosy Rogan.Â Joe Rogan is also the step-father to Ditzel&#8217;s firstborn daughter, Kayja Rose Connor, whom he legally adopted in 2009 from her former relationship with the late singer Keven &#8216;Dino&#8217; Conner. Joe Rogan net worth 2024 Over the years, Joe Rogan has tried his hand in various fields, which has led him to become a fan-favorite UFC commentator. He secured a multi-million deal with Spotify for his podcast, and as of January 2024, he holds a net worth of about $200 million. Rogan&#8217;s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience has become one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with millions of listeners and subscribers. His connection with the UFC dates back to 1997 when he did his first 12 events for free. But over 25 years later, he continues to commentate for the promotion and is paid well for it. It is estimated that he earns around $50,000 per event.  via Getty His comedy career also bloomed over the years. Prior to the pandemic, Joe Rogan performed at approximately 4 venues per month, with an average theater capacity of 15,000 seats and an average ticket price of $60. With an estimated capacity of 80%, the calculation would show 4 venues x 15,000 seats x $60/ticket x 80% capacity x 50% cut x 12 months = $17.3 million per year. Additionally, he has released 6 comedy specials, some of which can be found on Netflix, and is estimated to have earned approximately $5 million for his Netflix special. Joe Rogan is a co-owner of the health and wellness company &#8216;Onnit&#8217;, which provides supplements, food, and unique fitness equipment. In 2017, Onnit generated around $28 million in annual revenue, and today it is estimated to be close to $50 million per year. Rogan receives income from multiple sources through his podcast, &#8216;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8217;. He is paid by Spotify, podcast sponsors, and YouTube. The podcast is estimated to have around 200 million downloads per month, which calculates to 200 million downloads per year / 1000 CPM x $20 x 12 months = $48 million per year from podcast sponsors. He is estimated to have 130 million views on YouTube, and with YouTube&#8217;s CPM, 130 million views per month / 1000 RPM x $4 = $520,000 per month from YouTube Adsense. Hence, the UFC commentator has an estimated yearly revenue of $110,520,000 from various sources such as UFC commentating ($2 million), comedy shows ($23 million), Onnit ($2 million), Spotify ($30 million), podcast sponsors ($48 million), and YouTube Adsense ($6.2 million). And with the renewal of his podcast deal with Spotify for a whopping $250 million, it looks like the numbers are going to change for good. He further no longer has the exclusivity clause, which gives him access to other platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts, meaning he would be generating more revenue from them. Joe Rogan&#8217;s professional career and highlights Joe Rogan has had a multifaceted career in entertainment, starting with his acting career in the 1990s.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Taila Santos 2022: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsement</h2>
Taila Santos is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist who fights in the UFC's flyweight division. She is currently ranked #4 in the flyweight division and stands a chance to rule the division if she wins her next fight against current women's 125 lbs champion Valentina Shevchenko.

Taila Jaime dos Santos was born in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil. She took up mixed martial arts at the age of 16, as she was influenced by her father, who was a Muay Thai coach.

[caption id="attachment_469487" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-469487" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/UFC_Weigh-in_10.jpg" alt="Taila Santos" width="1920" height="1360" /> ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JULY 14: Taila Santos of Brazil poses on the scale during the UFC Fight Night weigh-in inside Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 14, 2020 in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Career and Personal Life of Taila Santos</h2>
After starting training Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu in her teenage years, Santos made her professional debut in 2013. She fought Josiane Nunes de Lima at Striker's House Cup 31 in Brazil and won the fight.

Santos was on a dream run in her MMA career and got a chance to participate in Dana White's Contender Series in 2018, where she defeated Estefani Almeida via a unanimous decision to earn herself a <a href="https://www.ufc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC</a> contract.

[caption id="attachment_469488" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-469488" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/UFC_Fight_Night_016.jpg" alt="Taila Santos Molly McCann" width="1920" height="1184" /> ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JULY 16: (L-R) Taila Santos of Brazil elbows Molly McCann of England in their flyweight fight during the UFC Fight Night event inside Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 16, 2020 in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW"><b>Valentina Shevchenko Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Partner, and More</b></h2>
<h2>Who is Valentina Shevchenko?</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Valentina Shevchenko is a former UFC flyweight champion and one of the greatest women fighters to ever grace the Octagon. She started training in Taekwondo at the age of five and eventually transitioned to Muay Thai and Kickboxing.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Over the years, Valentina Shevchenko made her name as one of the most feared fighters in the UFC's female roster. Currently, she is the #1 ranked fighter in the UFC women's Flyweight Division. 'Bullet' also holds the #3 spot in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings.</p>

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Valentina Shevchenko's Early Life</h2>
'Bullet' was born in Bishkek in the Soviet province of Kyrgyzstan on March 7, 1988. She began her martial arts journey at the tender age of 5, thanks to the influence of her elder sister Antonina, and her mother Elena. She started off with taekwondo at 5, and branched off into Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, and later into free-style Vale Tudo by the time she was 12.

[caption id="attachment_2136894" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2136894" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1016742380h.jpg" alt="Valentina Shevchenko" width="1920" height="1464" /> MMA: UFC 266-Shevchenko vs Murphy, Sep 25, 2021 Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Valentina Shevchenko before fighting against Lauren Murphy during UFC 266 at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports, 25.09.2021 20:50:41, 16831422, Valentina Shevchenko, NPStrans, T-Mobile Arena, Murphy, Lauren Murphy, MMA PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xGaryxA.xVasquezx 16831422[/caption]

She began her kickboxing career at age 12 by knocking out a 22-year-old opponent. Her former trainer Pavel Fedotov gave her the name 'Bullet' because of her speed in the ring.

The Shevchenko sisters lived in Sochi, Russia with their mother but their training took them to Thailand. They moved around Thailand, Korea, Italy, France, China, Greece, and the Netherlands competing at amateur and later at professional levels. A mugging incident eventually forced Valentina to pursue a living outside Russia and she chose Peru.

The former UFC champion had visited the country in 2007 after winning the World Muay Thai championship. She took to the country after visiting Peru with her sister and their coach Fedotov to teach kickboxing classes. <em>"Peru is a beautiful country that has it all ... beach, mountains and jungle. I love its people, landscapes, and cuisine,"</em> Shevchecnko once said. She would eventually get Peruvian citizenship as well.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2137994" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1030793608h.jpg" alt="" />

Shevchenko had over 500 amateur fights in different combat styles. Â She was the World Muay Thai Federation champion in 2006, gold medalist at the IFMA championships in 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2011. She is also a two-time (2003 and 2006) World Pankration champion.Â  She defeated Alfia Ishirgakova of Russia in the semifinal and El Majydy Aicha of Morocco in the final at the IFMA World Muay Thai Championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in September 2011.

Her professional boxing debut was on May 8, 2010, against against Brazil's Halana Dos Santos. 'Bullet' won a unanimous decision after a gritty 10-round bout (96-94, 100-90, 100-90).

Besides teaching Muay Thai, Vale Tudo, and other martial arts competitions, Valentina also teaches Russian folk dancing, belly dancing and gypsy dances.Â Her favorite is the Iezginka dance from southern Russia which was used to prepare warriors for combat.
<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW"><b>Valentina Shevchenko's Partner</b></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">There were a number of rumors in the UFC world that labeled 'Bullet's' longtime instructor, Pavel Fedotov as her partner. Fedotov met Shevchenko when she was just 12 years old. He has also been with her on her journey from Kyrgyzstan to Peru and then to the UFC. But there are no reports mentioning that the two are in a relationship.</p>
https://twitter.com/BulletValentina/status/961073010454269952
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Fedotov is more like a father figure to Shevchenko and her sister. However, the former champion recently raised eyebrows after being spotted with a big name 'date' at UFC 300!</p>
Arizona Cardinals' QB Kyler Murray shared a picture of him sitting next to Valentina. He captioned it, <em>â€œMy date is whooping any of yallâ€™s a**..ðŸ¥° #UFC300.â€Â </em>It is unclear if the two were actually on a date or if Murray was just joking around.

There were also rumors of Shevchenko being involved in an intimate capacity with current UFC champion Jon Jones. The pair reportedly shared accommodations for UFC 285, further raising eyebrows. The only sources of these rumors are Chael Sonnen and Andrew Schulz, both of whom conjectured that Shevchenko disrupted a romantic situation between Jon Jones and Holly Holm.

Fedotov is more like a father figure to Shevchenko and her sister, and there are no solid claims about any of the other rumored love interests. Presently, there are no reports about 'Bullet' currently being involved in any romantic relationship as well. She is currently single and doesn't have any kids.
<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Valentina Shevchenko's Net Worth 2024</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Like every other UFC fighter, Shevchenko also earns her salary per fight. Her income might also change from one fight to another. Reports say that she comes under the $500,000 salary belt of the UFC and has also earned the same amount for her last two fights. Her second biggest payday stands at around $1,267,000 (inclusive of bonuses) which she earned in her first bout against Alexa Grasso at UFC 285.</p>
For UFC 261, Shevchenko was one of the three title fights that headlined the card. She received a staggering $1,192,000 (inclusive of bonuses) making it her highest UFC paycheck to date.

UFC 266, she earned $892,000 (inclusive of bonuses) and her total UFC 275 payout was around $472,000 dollars. She has an estimated net worth of over $5 million, according to multiple sources.
<h2>Valentina Shevchenko's Career Timeline</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">After amassing an MMA record of 11-1, Shevchenko made it to the UFC. Although she won her first fight, 'Bullet' lost her next bout to 'The Lioness' <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/amanda-nunes/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Amanda Nunes</a>. To this date, Nunes is one of only three women (the other two being Liz Carmouche and Alexa Grasso) to beat the Kyrgyzstani.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Shevchenko racked up two back-to-back wins againstÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/holly-holm/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Holly Holm</a>Â and JuliannaÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://essentiallysports.com/tag/julianna-pena/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Pena</a>. After that, she fought Nunes once again for the bantamweight strap at UFC 215: Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2. Unfortunately, she lost via a controversial decision.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Nevertheless, the UFC introduced the women's flyweight division soon after. As a result, Shevchenko returned to her original weight class and submitted Priscila Cachoeira via a rear-naked choke. She then foughtÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joanna-jedrzejczyk/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joanna Jedrzejczyk</a>Â for the vacant flyweight belt at UFC 231. Like their previous three meetings in amateur Muay Thai, Shevchenko won the match and the belt.</p>

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Since then, she has defended it seven times. Her last UFC Flyweight title defense came against Taila Santos on June 11, 2022, at UFC 275. Following this victory, Shevchenko endured a crushing defeat in her next bout. The noted Mexican Flyweight, Alexa Grasso, submitted her via a face crank in the fourth round of their UFC 285 fight.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Grasso also kept the UFC Flyweight gold from Shevchenko in their rematch that went down at UFC Noche (UFC Fight Night 227). At the coveted T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, on September 16, 2023, Grasso fought Shevchenko to a controversial draw. One of the three judges scored the final round 10-8 for Grasso, raising several eyebrows and evening out the tally. The other two scorecards were 47-48 and 48-47 apiece, meaning even a 10-9 score in favor of Grasso from the third judge would have also given Shevchenko her title back.</p>
Now, the pair are set to clash once more on the Mexican Independence Day event of the UFC - UFC 306, later rebranded Riyadh Season Noche UFC. The co-main event at the Las Vegas Sphere on September 14 will see Grasso and Shevchenko vie for the title for the third time in a row. The pair have laid foundation for their trilogy bout with a stint on The Ultimate Fighter 32.

Valentina Shevchenko

Valentina Shevchenko Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Partner, and More Who is Valentina Shevchenko? Valentina Shevchenko is a former UFC flyweight champion and one of the greatest women fighters to ever grace the Octagon. She started training in Taekwondo at the age of five and eventually transitioned to Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Over the years, Valentina Shevchenko made her name as one of the most feared fighters in the UFC&#8217;s female roster. Currently, she is the #1 ranked fighter in the UFC women&#8217;s Flyweight Division. &#8216;Bullet&#8217; also holds the #3 spot in the UFC women&#8217;s pound-for-pound rankings. Valentina Shevchenko&#8217;s Early Life &#8216;Bullet&#8217; was born in Bishkek in the Soviet province of Kyrgyzstan on March 7, 1988. She began her martial arts journey at the tender age of 5, thanks to the influence of her elder sister Antonina, and her mother Elena. She started off with taekwondo at 5, and branched off into Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, and later into free-style Vale Tudo by the time she was 12.

Her former trainer Pavel Fedotov gave her the name &#8216;Bullet&#8217; because of her speed in the ring. The Shevchenko sisters lived in Sochi, Russia with their mother but their training took them to Thailand. They moved around Thailand, Korea, Italy, France, China, Greece, and the Netherlands competing at amateur and later at professional levels. A mugging incident eventually forced Valentina to pursue a living outside Russia and she chose Peru. The former UFC champion had visited the country in 2007 after winning the World Muay Thai championship. She took to the country after visiting Peru with her sister and their coach Fedotov to teach kickboxing classes. &#8220;Peru is a beautiful country that has it all &#8230; beach, mountains and jungle. I love its people, landscapes, and cuisine,&#8221; Shevchecnko once said. She would eventually get Peruvian citizenship as well. Shevchenko had over 500 amateur fights in different combat styles. Â She was the World Muay Thai Federation champion in 2006, gold medalist at the IFMA championships in 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2011. She is also a two-time (2003 and 2006) World Pankration champion.Â  She defeated Alfia Ishirgakova of Russia in the semifinal and El Majydy Aicha of Morocco in the final at the IFMA World Muay Thai Championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in September 2011. Her professional boxing debut was on May 8, 2010, against against Brazil&#8217;s Halana Dos Santos. &#8216;Bullet&#8217; won a unanimous decision after a gritty 10-round bout (96-94, 100-90, 100-90). Besides teaching Muay Thai, Vale Tudo, and other martial arts competitions, Valentina also teaches Russian folk dancing, belly dancing and gypsy dances.Â Her favorite is the Iezginka dance from southern Russia which was used to prepare warriors for combat. Valentina Shevchenko&#8217;s Partner There were a number of rumors in the UFC world that labeled &#8216;Bullet&#8217;s&#8217; longtime instructor, Pavel Fedotov as her partner. Fedotov met Shevchenko when she was just 12 years old. He has also been with her on her journey from Kyrgyzstan to Peru and then to the UFC. But there are no reports mentioning that the two are in a relationship. https://twitter.com/BulletValentina/status/961073010454269952 Fedotov is more like a father figure to Shevchenko and her sister. However, the former champion recently raised eyebrows after being spotted with a big name &#8216;date&#8217; at UFC 300! Arizona Cardinals&#8217; QB Kyler Murray shared a picture of him sitting next to Valentina. He captioned it, â€œMy date is whooping any of yallâ€™s a**..ðŸ¥° #UFC300.â€Â It is unclear if the two were actually on a date or if Murray was just joking around. There were also rumors of Shevchenko being involved in an intimate capacity with current UFC champion Jon Jones. The pair reportedly shared accommodations for UFC 285, further raising eyebrows. The only sources of these rumors are Chael Sonnen and Andrew Schulz, both of whom conjectured that Shevchenko disrupted a romantic situation between Jon Jones and Holly Holm. Fedotov is more like a father figure to Shevchenko and her sister, and there are no solid claims about any of the other rumored love interests. Presently, there are no reports about &#8216;Bullet&#8217; currently being involved in any romantic relationship as well. She is currently single and doesn&#8217;t have any kids. Valentina Shevchenko&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 Like every other UFC fighter, Shevchenko also earns her salary per fight. Her income might also change from one fight to another. Reports say that she comes under the $500,000 salary belt of the UFC and has also earned the same amount for her last two fights. Her second biggest payday stands at around $1,267,000 (inclusive of bonuses) which she earned in her first bout against Alexa Grasso at UFC 285. For UFC 261, Shevchenko was one of the three title fights that headlined the card. She received a staggering $1,192,000 (inclusive of bonuses) making it her highest UFC paycheck to date. UFC 266, she earned $892,000 (inclusive of bonuses) and her total UFC 275 payout was around $472,000 dollars. She has an estimated net worth of over $5 million, according to multiple sources. Valentina Shevchenko&#8217;s Career Timeline After amassing an MMA record of 11-1, Shevchenko made it to the UFC. Although she won her first fight, &#8216;Bullet&#8217; lost her next bout to &#8216;The Lioness&#8217; Amanda Nunes. To this date, Nunes is one of only three women (the other two being Liz Carmouche and Alexa Grasso) to beat the Kyrgyzstani. Shevchenko racked up two back-to-back wins againstÂ Holly HolmÂ and JuliannaÂ Pena. After that, she fought Nunes once again for the bantamweight strap at UFC 215: Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2. Unfortunately, she lost via a controversial decision. Nevertheless, the UFC introduced the women&#8217;s flyweight division soon after. As a result, Shevchenko returned to her original weight class and submitted Priscila Cachoeira via a rear-naked choke. She then foughtÂ Joanna JedrzejczykÂ for the vacant flyweight belt at UFC 231. Like their previous three meetings in amateur Muay Thai, Shevchenko won the match and the belt.

Her last UFC Flyweight title defense came against Taila Santos on June 11, 2022, at UFC 275. Following this victory, Shevchenko endured a crushing defeat in her next bout. The noted Mexican Flyweight, Alexa Grasso, submitted her via a face crank in the fourth round of their UFC 285 fight. Grasso also kept the UFC Flyweight gold from Shevchenko in their rematch that went down at UFC Noche (UFC Fight Night 227). At the coveted T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, on September 16, 2023, Grasso fought Shevchenko to a controversial draw. One of the three judges scored the final round 10-8 for Grasso, raising several eyebrows and evening out the tally. The other two scorecards were 47-48 and 48-47 apiece, meaning even a 10-9 score in favor of Grasso from the third judge would have also given Shevchenko her title back. Now, the pair are set to clash once more on the Mexican Independence Day event of the UFC &#8211; UFC 306, later rebranded Riyadh Season Noche UFC. The co-main event at the Las Vegas Sphere on September 14 will see Grasso and Shevchenko vie for the title for the third time in a row. The pair have laid foundation for their trilogy bout with a stint on The Ultimate Fighter 32. Valentina Shevchenkoâ€™s UFC Career Stats and Record Shevchenko currently boasts a 12-3-1 record in the UFC. &#8216;Bullet is only the second-ever UFC women&#8217;s flyweight champion, behind Nicco MontaÃ±o. Shevchenko was also one of the longest-reigning women&#8217;s champions with 7 title defenses to her name. She has 4 KO/TKO wins and 2 submission wins in the UFC.

<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Zhang Weili's Net Worth 2024, Career, and Family</strong></p>

<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>. With only one title defense, Weili clashed against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rose-namajunas/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rose Namajunas</a> at UFC 261. 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>
