With the aim of inching closer to title contention, the fight is guaranteed to be a belter. Meanwhile, today we will be focusing on another aspect of Rodriguez’s MMA career. We will take a look at the amount of money she’s earned since she started out in the MMA scene.

Marina Rodriguez has made a major impact on the MMA stage since making her professional debut in 2015. She boasts a record of 17 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws, which has made her one of the top fighters in her division in the UFC. Therefore, we will examine how much Rodriguez has earned by fighting under Dana White’s promotion banner and what she could potentially earn for her upcoming UFC 300 bout.

Marina Rodriguez: biggest UFC payouts and estimated UFC 300 paycheck

Marina Rodriguez saw a steady rise in her UFC payouts. The most amount of money she ever made from one fight was when she fought Mackenzie Dern at UFC Fight Night 194. Making a total of $176,000, the 6th-ranked strawweight’s payout for that fight included $60,000 in base salary, $6,000 in sponsorships, and $50,000 for her performance.

The next big paycheck for the 36-year-old Brazilian came in the fight against Amanda Ribas. Rodriguez had a base salary of $24,000 and $5,000 from sponsorships. In addition to that, she also earned a performance bonus of $50,000 along with a win bonus of $24,000, with her total earnings from that fight amounting to $103,000.

When it comes to some of the other fight payouts, Marina Rodriguez did not even reach five figures. For the fight against Cynthia Calvillo at UFC on ESPN 7, the Brazilian was only awarded a measly payout of $4000. Similarly, she pocketed the same amount in her fight against former champion Carla Esparza. After analyzing how much Rodriguez has earned so far, we can assume that she could make around $100,000-$150,000 for her UFC 300 fight. Now, let’s turn our attention to her net worth and the total earnings of her MMA career to this day.

Rodriguez’s total earnings and net worth

Marina Rodriguez has fought in many regional promotions as well as fighting in the UFC. She has almost a decade-long experience in the sport. The 36-year-old has been a part of some of the best fights in the UFC’s history, including an amazing back-and-forth battle against Carla Esparza. As such, Rodriguez is believed to have earned around a total of $307,600, as of 2021.

Marina Rodriguez’s net worth has been estimated to be around $1,500,000. Interestingly, she is one of the few female fighters in the UFC whose net worth has crossed the million-dollar mark. Nevertheless, Rodriguez has a few more contenders in her division, whom she hasn’t fought. As such, we can expect her to make even more money in the future and add to her net worth.

Marina Rodriguez is already 36 years old and may not have much time left in her career, or will she still keep fighting even after crossing her 40s like Holly Holm? We don’t know. What we do know is that her upcoming fight against a former champion could be a critical one for her ambitions to get into the title picture.
