Ex-UFC star claims ring girls earn up to SEVEN times more than some fighters

Former UFC middleweight Uriah Hall has claimed ring girls in the promotion are earning seven times more than some of the fighters.

Hall, 38, fought in the UFC and was one of the hottest prospects following his success on The Ultimate Fighter, but he failed to every reach title contention in his division. 'Prime Time' parted ways with the UFC after his loss to Andre Muniz in July and will make his professional boxing debut against former NFL star Le'Veon Bell. on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva.

The lowest guaranteed purse for most UFC fighters is currently $12,000, but that figure drops to $10,000 for fighters who are signed from the Contender Series. Hall said ring girls in the promotion such as Arianny Celeste are making seven times the amount some fighters are earning, which would imply Celeste earns around $70,000.
