The world of mixed martial arts was left with wide eyes when Valentina Shevchenko lost her belt to Alexa Grasso back in 2023. ‘Bullet’ was on a 9-fight undefeated streak before she faced Grasso. She had dominated the Octagon with her all-around fighting prowess. And as her fame rose, the money she amassed from her MMA career also began to skyrocket. 

From her early days in Kyrgyzstan to the bright lights of Octagon, every kick, punch, and title defense added another digit to her earnings. But how much has Shevchenko truly made from her career? As she gears up for another high-stakes battle at UFC 315, the question resurfaces: just how lucrative has her run in the UFC been?

What is Valentina Shevchenko’s net worth in 2025?

As of 2025, Valentina Shevchenko’s estimated net worth sits comfortably around $5 million. For a fighter who has headlined multiple pay-per-views and carried the women’s flyweight division on her back, it’s no surprise.

With her biggest rivalry being that against the former women’s flyweight champion, one might expect that Shevchenko’s biggest salary came from one of her fights against Grasso. And it was true indeed! ‘Bullet’s highest payout in the UFC came at UFC 285. She bagged $725,000 as a PPV payout and another $42000 from brand sponsorships. Adding a base salary of $500,000, the total payout for UFC 285 was $1,267,000.

With Jon Jones fighting Ciryl Gane, UFC 285 had a massive PPV buyout. But the main event wasn’t the only title event at UFC 285. Shevchenko was also set to defend her championship title against Alexa Grasso. Even though the fight garnered her a massive amount of money, she dropped the belt to Grasso, who secured a win via a rear-naked choke in the 4th round. 

‘Bullet’ earned $472 thousand (excluding PPV points) at UFC 275 and $892 thousand at UFC 266. Needless to say, her previous bouts had lower payouts. Even her rematch against Grasso at UFC Fight Night 227 couldn’t match the payout she had at UFC 285. At Noche UFC in 2023, Shevchenko earned a total of $1,030,000. But the fight was announced to be a split draw.

Having earned a massive sum of money at the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the fighting community has often wondered about her net worth. Let’s find out the total monetary value of the UFC flyweight phenom.

Valentina Shevchenko’s 2025 career earnings & payouts

Although Shevchenko hasn’t competed yet in 2025, all eyes are on UFC 315, where she’s scheduled to defend her flyweight crown against Manon Fiorot. If history tells us anything, she’ll likely earn PPV points again as the reigning champ, and those points could make this her most lucrative fight yet.

But a part of her wealth also comes from brand endorsements. Associated with companies like GuardLab, Brownells, Dapper Scrappers, LUCHO Shoes, and many more, ‘Bullet’ has earned more than $40 thousand from the sponsorships in each of her fights. So, while 2025 has yet to add to her fight purse, UFC’s first trip to Montreal in 10 years could very well rewrite her financial history.

After all, Valentina Shevchenko has never been one to shy away from a challenge, and UFC 315 is no different. Set to defend her title as the only 2-time UFC women’s flyweight champion, this time against Manon Fiorot, the stakes are sky-high. 

‘The Beast’ from France is undefeated in the UFC so far. The question now becomes, can “Bullet” hit her mark one more time, and cash in while doing it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
