UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste has hit back at a fan's DM that labeled her and her colleagues "useless" in the organization.

According to reports, Celeste has amassed herself a net worth of nearly $3.4 million. The money comes from her work with the UFC, which she has been doing since 2006, a modeling career and her own exclusive OnlyFans page.

Arianny Celeste screenshotted the direct message and shared it on her Instagram Story with a response, claiming that these types of messages are the reason she doesn't often reply to fans:

"This is why I don’t reply to DMs. The hate is non-stop. I thank god that my mom raised me to be strong because otherwise I would not be able to mentally cope. And no it’s not easy. Period. Have you ever felt unworthy, insecure, not good enough? Imagine millions of people sending you things purposefully to hurt you?"

Celeste added:

"Discrediting your hard work and just calling you a 'pretty face that has never worked a hard day in this life.' People you don’t even know!! I’ve had to work so hard to not break in this industry. I thank god everyday that I can disassociate myself from this world. I don’t come around to MMA things precisely for this reason.”

Ex-UFC fighter Uriah Hall criticized the UFC for paying ring girls more than some fighters

Former UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall recently made his boxing debut on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva last month. Hall faced former American football running back Le'Veon Bell and won his debut bout via unanimous decision.

During his pre-fight press conference, the 38-year-old was asked about his former employer and the controversial fighter pay situation. 'Primetime' confirmed that he was earning more in his boxing match than any fight in his MMA career and revealed that some UFC ring girls are paid more than fighters on the roster:

"I know people that are making $10,000 to show, $10,000 to win, which is ridiculous because you're going out there and fighting and you're putting your brain cells on the line and f***ing ring card girls are making $70,000 which is utterly f***ing ridiculous."

Paulo Costa, known for his social media antics, responded to the comments from Hall and joked that he needed to try being a ring girl himself.
