UFC fighter Miesha Tate was recently seen on ‘Celebrity Big Brother.’ She went on to win the season by a 7-1 jury vote. As a result, she also received the grand prize, which was a whopping $250,000. Todrick Hall stood in second place and Cynthia Bailey came third. In addition to this, fans voted Carson Kressley as the ‘Favorite Houseguest’.

The grand prize Tate received for winning the show could easily be much higher than the pay she had received for most of her UFC fights. That is, if one keeps the bonuses aside.

According to ‘The Sports Daily‘, the fighter was paid around $500,000 to show up for her bout against Amanda Nunes. Apart from that, she had also received a sponsorship from Reebok and this further elevated the total amount that she made.

However, the amount ‘Cupcake’ made to show up against ‘The Lioness‘ was the highest the promotion has ever paid her.

Thus, the prize money the talented MMA fighter won at CBB overrides most of her UFC pay to show at fights. Yet, it is just around 50% of what she made at the Nunes fight.

Tate couldn’t believe she won the show. According to Daily Mail, while leaving the house, she said, “This is so surreal. I don’t know if I can quite put words to the feeling that I have right now.”

As reported, Tate said that living in the house was much more difficult than a fight because she felt like it was never-ending. For her, it was an emotional rollercoaster.

Miesha Tate: Her UFC career earnings

As per The Sports Daily, the fighter has made $1,703,500 from her Strikeforce/UFC career. However, the website does not list her earnings from her first two fights.

She started her professional career back in 2007 with HOOKnSHOOT. In 2013, she was a part of ‘The Ultimate Fighter 17’. Post this, she started fighting for the UFC.
