While there are usually more than two ring girls for major UFC PPVs, the third name is still unconfirmed. But fret not, as we tell you all you need to know about the confirmed ones, and how their careers stretch far beyond simply appearing between rounds.
Everything we know about Chrissy Blair and Brookliyn Wren ahead of UFC 328
Brookliyn Wren has quietly emerged as one of the UFC’s most recognizable Octagon Girls after joining the promotion back in 2017. Before stepping into the UFC spotlight, she built a modeling career as she worked in major locations such as Las Vegas and New York, building a solid foundation in the fashion and entertainment industry as well.
Now 32, Brookliyn Wren has established herself as a regular on major UFC cards. As a result, she has over 123,000 fight fans cheering for her on Instagram. As per reports, Wren is in a relationship. However, she prefers to keep her personal life private to let her professional work shine instead.
As for Chrissy Blair, she brings even more experience to the table. At 37, she has spent more than a decade in high-level MMA, first with Strikeforce and then moving on to the UFC in 2013. Her path into modeling was unusual to say the least, shaped in part by her artistic background in design, which adds another depth to her public persona.
Given that she’s a veteran, Blair has witness of the most significant moments in women’s MMA history, including the rise of stars such as Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate. With around 195,000 followers, she maintains a steady audience while keeping her relationship status hidden from public scrutiny.
Net worth and salary of UFC 328 Octagon girls
Unlike fighters, UFC Octagon Girls don’t earn through win bonuses or fight purses. Their income is built through event appearances, brand deals, endorsements, and freelance modeling work. According to reports, Octagon Girls often make $1,000 to $5,000 every event, with larger cards and sponsorship opportunities potentially increasing that figure.
Brookliyn Wren’s annual UFC earnings are reported to be between $24,000 to $30,000 from appearances alone. But that’s not all, as her modeling campaigns and social media collaborations also contribute significantly to her overall income.
Chrissy Blair appears to be the most financially stable of the two. Her net worth is estimated to be between $1.5 million and $5 million. That massive sum is thanks to her wellness ventures, modeling portfolio, and premium content work, with her total annual earnings potentially reaching $400,000!
With the UFC’s business model evolving under its new broadcast era, pay structures across the promotion could change over time. But, for now, while fighters take center stage, figures such as Brookliyn Wren and Chrissy Blair continue to contribute to the spectacle that makes every UFC event feel complete.
