The usage of ring girls in combat sports is an age-old tradition now. Needless to say, the UFC isn’t been an exception to this.

Despite this, the UFC still continues to use ring girls in all of their events. Some fans also might be startled to know that there have been instances where UFC ring girls have received better paydays than fighters.
