Luciana Andrade dispels UFC octagon girl's pay myths
UFC ring girls have been a significant presence in the world's premier mixed martial arts promotion for many years. Considering the organization's magnitude and recent debates surrounding fighter compensation, it's not unexpected that octagon figures such as Arianny Celeste and Camila Oliveira earn salaries exceeding five figures.
Renowned octagon girl Luciana Andrade spoke on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani earlier this year, addressing rumors about ring girls earning more than certain UFC fighters. She said:
"It's not true, we don't make more money than the fighters. Think about it, we have 14 girls across the globe and some girls work a few times a year cause we don't have international fights at the frequency that we have in the U.S."
