Arianny Celeste has been around the Octagon more than many UFC fighters. The ringside girl has been in the business for over 16 years now. She, however, got job-shamed recently by both male and female UFC Fighters. The reason is the former Playboy Magazine Model’s Earnings from UFC.

Arianny Celeste is currently estimated at a Net worth of $3.3 Million. Retired Jamaican fighter Uriah Hall called out ringside girls on their earnings being higher than fighters. He said, “You don’t have to go too much into details, but I know people [fighters] who are making [$10,000 to show, $10,000 to win], which is ridiculous,” He then compared the fighters’ earnings with that of the ringside girls.
He added, “Because you’re going out there and fighting and you’re putting your brain cells on the line and f***ing ring card girls are making $70,000, which is utterly f***ing ridiculous.” Arianny Celeste has responded indirectly to Hall’s comments on TikTok.
Arianny Celeste gives it back
She said, “I feel like I need to address this because this has been said multiple times and it’s not true!” She talked about how a certain fighters articles always have her picture with the general subject that “we make more”.
She said “So, no. I don’t make more than the fighters. I’ve been in this industry for over 15 years, and I’ve worked my a** off to be where I am in life.” She went into further detail, mentioning her sources of income. She mentioned that her multiple income streams and investments have been the pillars of her financial well-being, not the UFC pay.
Celeste said “I have an OnlyFans that makes me money. I also put my money into real estate that makes me equity. It’s about really hustling in the position you’re given. I gotta just say the rumors are not true, so stop spreading these lies.”
Arianny Celeste responds to Khabib and Rousy
Earlier Khabib Nurmagomedov had called ring girls “the most useless people in martial arts”. Rival Conor McGregor had even taken a dig by posting a meme where a Simpson’s character was labeled as Khabib. The cartoon character was trying to cover his eyes while scantily clothed women labeled Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer danced near him.

Male fighters and female fighters have had stiff terms with Arianny Celeste. UFC’s very own Ronda Rousey who is now signed with WWE had also made statements like “it’s your job to show your t***” and “I am not impressed with the Job in itself” Arianny and Rousy exchanged shots till Rousy retired in 2016. Arianny had called Rousy a “bully”.
UFC is a winner for the package it is. The perfect amount of action with the perfect amount of glamor has brought it to where it is today. UFC boss Dana White seems to have understood it and Arianny Celeste’s 16-year career is proof. What do you think about the fighters vs Ring girls’ pay debate?
