Palmer started with the UFC in 2005, and she has been a part of the company for over a decade and a half. Her tenure is more than what the legendary Jon Jones has served in the company. She has been an Octagon girl for countless iconic events.
Meanwhile, once again this year, she was awarded “Ring Girl of the Year”. After receiving the award, she made a major announcement that the UFC 296: Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington event will be her final event. Palmer announced her retirement from being a ring girl after the event. She said:
“After 16 years with UFC, I’ve decided to retire. This weekend will be my last event. I’m so absolutely grateful for this unforgettable experience. I’ve traveled the world, met some incredible people and met some of my fun friends. And I’ll appreciate the memories and I’m excited for the future. Thank you to the UFC, Dana White, and to all the fans for this incredible honor. Truly blessed to be part of this journey- I love you guys.”

Indeed, Brittney Palmer has been one of the most celebrated ring girls of the company. Whenever she was part of an event, she graced the octagon and added beauty to it, alongside her best friend Arianny Celeste. But one question comes to mind: how much did she make after serving over a decade and a half?

As Palmer has been part of the UFC for a long time, this was not the first time she was awarded Ring Girl of the Year. She first received the award in 2012, 2013, 2019, 2022, and now in 2023. However, awards and fans weren’t the only things she earned from her time in the company; she also amassed good money as a ring girl.
