All about Red Dela Cruz and Brookliyn Wren ahead of UFC Mexico

Popularly, 33-year-old Red Dela Cruz made history as the promotion’s first Filipina Octagon Girl after winning the UFC’s Dana White–led global search. Although not much is known about her love life, her breakthrough moment resonated across Southeast Asia and quickly elevated her global profile. 

Rather than limiting herself to Octagon appearances, Dela Cruz expanded into mainstream entertainment, co-hosting Miss Universe Singapore 2015 and landing magazine features with Maxim Australia and Women’s Fitness. With more than 429,000 followers across social media, her influence now stretches far beyond fight nights.

Net worth and salary of UFC Mexico Octagon/Ring Girls

UFC Octagon Girls at major international events like UFC Mexico typically earn between $1,000 and $5,000 per event, with past pay-per-view cards offering additional bonuses. While fight-night pay provides visibility, it is rarely the primary source of income for most Octagon Girls.

Red Dela Cruz generates most of her earnings from international modeling, fashion campaigns, and magazine features, with her net worth believed to be comfortably in the six-figure range.

Meanwhile, Brookliyn Wren reportedly earns $24,000 to $30,000 annually from UFC appearances, supplemented significantly by fashion work and social media collaborations. Their exact networth is anybody’s guess due to a lack of publicly disclosed assets. 

That being said, it appears that while Brandon Moreno and Kavanagh look to entertain you from inside the octagon, the Octagon girls will keep you busy in between rounds. Are you looking forward to the fight?
