After the epic showdown between Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday night, their respective net worth values have sparked public interest. Despite the shocking result where Holm defeated Rousey in a through a historic, second-round, head-kick knockout, UFC enthusiasts are dying to know who went home with more cash.
Ronda Rousey has an estimated net worth of $5 million while Holly Holm has $1 million, both figures were listed by Celebrity Net Worth. While Sport Illustrated reported Rousey was expected to go home with $10 million for her fight money, which she plans to spend on vertical gardens. Holm's figure, on the other hand, was not quite certain. But according to Wager Talk, the 34-year-old former world champion boxer would take home 96 percent of the total number of tickets if she'll take Rousey's Women's Bantamweight Title.
Saturday's Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm's Australian faceoff was indeed one of the most shocking and upsetting in UFC history. For the very first time, Rousey suffered a lost in her professional MMA career, which was in only the second fight she's ever had to go out of the first round. But she will likely receive an immediate rematch with Holm, FOX Sports noted.
"Obviously, we don't make fights the night of the fight, but the rematch makes a lot of sense," UFC President Dana White said during the "UFC 193" post-fight press conference. "I think the rematch is what people would want to see. I mean it changes a lot of things now. The (Cris) 'Cyborg' fight, some other stuff we were working on."
Following the fight, Rousey, who was "completely bummed out and depressed" over her defeat, left the Octagon and was taken to a local hospital for treatment after her lip was split during the fight. She was also reportedly to undergo some tests as precautionary reasons for the knockout.
Holly Holm, on the other hand, was very emotional after she was dubbed as the "toughest challenger" to Rousey's Bantamweight title ever since she signed with the UFC.
"I have to say that everything that we worked on presented itself in the fight. Every kind of grab that she tried to get and clinch on the cage. I have not spent this much time in the gym before any fight in my life," Holm said after her epic victory, another FOX Sports report quoted.
Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey's net worth is oftentimes just a rough estimate. But despite her defeat, she is still a multimillionaire who continues to rake money through her fights in the sport. Aside from Rousey, Holly Holm has also risen as one of the bankable UFC stars with her $1 million net worth.
So, who do you think between Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm went home with a larger prize money?
