All about Red Dela Cruz, Chrissy Blair, and Brookliyn Wren ahead of UFC Vegas 111

Red Dela Cruz, the trailblazing Filipina Octagon Girl, appears to be on her way back to the Apex. How do we know that? Well, she just hinted at her appearance on Instagram, confirming that she is in Las Vegas—a strong indication she will be working the event. Cruz, the first Filipina Octagon Girl to win the UFC’s global search, is one of the sport’s most famous faces, and fans will definitely be waiting to see her live.

Beyond the cage, the Manila-born star has co-hosted Miss Universe Singapore 2015, graced the covers of Maxim Australia and Women’s Fitness, and amassed a following of over 426K with social media posts that combine travel, fitness, and glam. But while we know about her status for the event, Chrissy Blair’s situation remains somewhat mysterious.

But it is worth noting that fans may have found a clue. The 36-year-old model and UFC veteran shared a lighthearted Instagram story featuring her cat with the caption, “The time change is hard for cats too… she thinks it’s dinner time,” leading many to believe she had come to Las Vegas for fight week.

Blair, who is from Florida, followed an unexpected path to the Octagon. She studied art and design at Flagler College before a friend’s dare led her to become a model. That decision transformed her life, propelling her from local gigs in Orlando and Miami to global contracts and, eventually, a role as a Strikeforce ring girl. Chrissy Blair made her UFC debut in 2013 at the historic Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate fight.

“As soon as I saw Ronda, I thought, ‘She’s my role model,'” Blair claimed. Since then, she’s become one of the UFC’s best-known Octagon Girls, juggling modeling and entrepreneurship. She is represented by Major Model Management and has worked for GUESS, Sports Illustrated, and Maxim. She also co-founded Kalumi, a collagen-based cosmetic brand. Despite over 193K followers, Blair keeps her personal life a secret, reflecting her polished, professional image.

As for Brookliyn Wren, fans hoping to see the Anchorage native at UFC Vegas 111 may be disappointed. Wren is currently on a girls’ trip to San Francisco, celebrating a friend’s birthday, as seen by her latest social media posts. The 31-year-old joined the UFC in 2017 after a life filled with beauty pageants and early modeling. She has become a fan favorite among Octagon Girls due to her outgoing nature and charm.

Beyond the cage, her modeling career includes fashion and commercial work, and she continues to expand her brand on Instagram, with 125K followers—all while keeping her personal life away from the public eye. Together, Cruz, Chrissy, and Wren represent the modern UFC Octagon Girl: women whose effect stretches far beyond fight night. Each brings her own unique combination of elegance, business expertise, and social influence, as well as the characteristic flair that fans have come to expect at every UFC event.

Net worth of the Octagon girls

In addition to their Octagon duties, Red Dela Cruz, Chrissy Blair, and Brookliyn Wren have built their own commercial empires. According to Sports Brief, UFC ring girls normally make $1,000–$5,000 every event, with an additional $5,000 for pay-per-view cards. However, brand collaborations, modeling contracts, and social media partnerships provide them with the majority of their income.

Brookliyn Wren, on the other hand, reportedly gets $24,000–$30,000 per year from UFC appearances, supplemented by steady income from modeling and fashion work, proving that the Octagon is only one aspect of their larger brand.
