Dana White: 'Cyborg, make weight and the fight against Ronda will happen'

Ronda Rousey was, without a shadow of a doubt, the big star of UFC 184. Considered by many to be the biggest name in Ultimate, and even in MMA, nowadays, the blonde headlined the card and simply ran over the challenger Zingano cat in just 14 seconds in the main fight of the night, winning his fifth title defense. However, Ronda's achievements still don't seem to have an effect on her paycheck, as she ended up coming in second on the event's salary list.

In total, Ronda took home US$130 (approximately R$370 at current prices). The value is below the US$ 136 thousand (R$ 386 thousand) received by Jake Ellenbeger, who finished Josh koscheck in the third to last fight of the night. The inequality is even more glaring if we take into account that Ellenberger is currently eleventh in the welterweight category and hasn't won in two years.

To get an idea of ​​the disparity in values, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Robbie Lawler e Anthony Pettis, stars of the last three events in pay-per-view of Ultimate took home, respectively, US$800 thousand (R$2,2 million), US$500 (R$1,41 million), US$220 thousand (R$624 thousand) and US$200 thousand (R$ $567 thousand).

It is worth remembering that the amounts listed by the Athletic Commissions are those declared by the organization as paid to athletes for their scholarships and do not include bonuses (for performance or fight of the night), image rights, participation in sales of pay-per-view, personal sponsorships, among other sources of income.
