Maycee Barber‘s climb in the UFC has been far from quiet. Known as ‘The Future,’ she’s one of the few fighters in the women’s flyweight division who has managed to maintain relevance despite early failures. She’s now preparing for one of the most important fights of her career, against Erin Blanchfield at UFC Fight Night on May 31, 2025. With both fighters ranked in the top five, this fight is likely to be a title eliminator, with the winner most likely set to battle Valentina Shevchenko for the UFC crown.

Barber has come a long way since her two back-to-back losses, rebounding in 2023 with a strong winning run of 6-0 that has revived her title dreams. But how does all of this translate financially? Has her comeback run benefited her finances as much as her rankings? So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at Maycee Barber’s net worth, endorsements, and UFC earnings.

Maycee Barber net worth & endorsements

As of May 2025, Maycee Barber’s net worth is expected to range between $1 million and $2 million. The figure isn’t exact—most MMA financial stats rarely are. However, based on disclosed fight purses, bonuses, and her growing list of sponsors, $1-2 million seems like a really reasonable estimate. A sizable portion of that comes from UFC paychecks. Some of her confirmed earnings are a reported $78,000 and $11,000 as compliance pay from UFC 299, and $36,000 with $4,000 from the UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance pay from her fight versus Alexa Grasso at UFC 258.

‘The Future’ also received a $50,000 Performance of the Night prize after finishing Amanda Ribas via TKO in 2023, which increased her earnings that year. But Maycee Barber isn’t just making money in the cage. Her marketability has garnered her endorsement partnerships with large brands like Toyota Tires, Monster Energy, and Airestech, a health brand.

With over 436,000 Instagram followers, she stays active uploading training videos and fight updates, which contributes to her worth as a sponsored athlete. Although her X (previously Twitter) account @MayceeBarber has been inactive since January 2025, sponsors continue to recognize her as one of the UFC’s most visible female fighters.

UFC payouts: How much salary does Maycee Barber earn?

Barber’s earnings from the UFC have consistently increased throughout the years. She began modestly, winning $10,000 on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, but her value quickly grew. Her UFC debut versus Hannah Cifers earned her $23,500, and the money didn’t stop there. Barber earned $36,000 to compete at UFC Vegas 32 and another $36,000 to win, with an additional $6,000 from sponsorships for a total of $78,000.

Fast forward to UFC 299, and her disclosed purse increased, with her base pay being $78,000 and an extra $11,000 as compliance pay. Barber’s acknowledged earnings from UFC fights and incentives are expected to exceed $1 million, excluding any undisclosed bonuses or backroom transactions, which sometimes go unreported.

With a potential title shot hanging in the balance at UFC Fight Night on May 31, Barber is fighting for more than just rankings and legacy—a win means big money. If she beats Erin Blanchfield, she will not only move closer to UFC gold, but her financial stock may also skyrocket. What do you think? Will she be able to pull it off? Let us know in the comments.
