The UFC women’s strawweight division is set to witness an exhilarating fight at UFC Vegas 89 on March 23, 2024. Rose Namajunas will go head-to-head with Amanda Ribas in the main event at the UFC’s APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to The Sports Daily, Ribas earned a base salary of $48,000 in her previous fight against Luana Pinheiro. It is expected that her pay for this fight will be in a similar range. Additionally, Ribas received a $50,000 bonus and $6,000 in incentives in her last fight, which could bring her total payout for the March 23 card anywhere between $48,000 and $104,000.
On the other hand, Namajunas, the former champion, is expected to receive a base pay of $100,000. This was the amount she earned when she became the champion in 2021 by knocking out Zhang Weili in the first round.
The co-main event will feature a heavyweight clash between Justin Tafa and Karl Williams, promising an explosive matchup that is sure to deliver fireworks. Edmen Shahbazyan, a highly-touted fighter, will be making his return to the octagon against AJ Dobson, marking his first fight since May 2023.
Cameron Saaiman, a flyweight prospect and South African contender, will also be competing against Payton Talbott. Fan-favorite Billy Quarantillo will face Yousseff Zalal in what could potentially be a fight of the night contender.
