UFC legend Ronda Rousey is the only woman to make the top 20 richest MMA fighters in the world in 2022 -- a list headlined by none other than Conor McGregor.
The 34-year-old American star is considered a trailblazer for women in the sport of MMA and became a huge box office attraction for Dana White’s UFC promotion.

Rousey was UFC’s inaugural women’s bantamweight champion and defended her title against the likes of MMA star Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano.
The MMA icon, who holds a professional record of 12 wins and two defeats, suffered back-to-back losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes before her UFC exit.

Rousey’s popularity and success also led to acting appearances in Fast & Furious 7 and The Expendables 3 as well as a successful spell with WWE.
However, the Baddest Woman on the Planet has been on hiatus from wrestling since her last match at WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
Wealthy Gorilla compiled data from Celebrity Net Worth and Forbes to determine the top 20 richest MMA fighters, past and present, using their net worth estimates.
Rousey failed to make the top 10 of the male-dominated list, but her hefty $12m net worth saw her secure a place alongside Quinton Jackson.
McGregor, who is UFC’s biggest pay-per-view draw, is top of the pile by some distance.
The Notorious is believed to have a net worth of $110m, with the 33-year-old Irish superstar having secured lucrative deals throughout his career.
McGregor hasn’t fought in the octagon since he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in Las Vegas in July 2021.
