Ronaldo Rodriguez’s 2025 net worth and endorsements
Like many UFC fighters, Ronaldo Rodriguez has encountered his fair share of struggles on his path to becoming an MMA fighter. At one point, he even sold jellies and candies on the streets to make ends meet. But soon, ‘Lazy Boy’ saw his dream of becoming a professional combat sports athlete come true when he made his MMA debut in Warriors League 2 in 2017. So, it’s 2025, and while Ronaldo Rodriguez still has not hit the big million financially, his few UFC fights and some sponsorships have given him a decent net worth.
Thanks to that, the rising 125fer and his family (including his mom, wife, and kid) can enjoy a comfortable life, soaking up all the modern conveniences that life has to offer. According to sportysalaries.com, the Mexican prospect has built a solid net worth of around $200K. This figure includes his earnings from the various fights and the sponsorships.
Right now, ‘Lazy Boy’ is backed by two major sponsors which he promotes on his Instagram account. One is Yaoca Brands, a health supplement company owned by the world’s one of the most renowned boxers Canelo Alvarez. The other is BetBoom Mexico, which happens to be a sports and entertainment casino in the country. Now that we know his net worth, let’s explore his salary and fight payouts.
