Julia Avila, known by her nickname “Raging Panda,” is an American professional mixed martial artist who has competed in the UFC women’s bantamweight division. UFC fighter pay is not fully disclosed for most competitors, so no reliable public net worth figure exists for her.
Early Life & Family
Avila was born on May 11, 1988, in Los Angeles, California. She built her athletic base as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and multi-sport competitor, later becoming an avid road cyclist, ultramarathon runner, and hot yoga practitioner alongside her fighting career.
Rise to Fame

Fighting out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Avila compiled a professional MMA record of 9 wins and 4 losses, competing in the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division. Outside competition, she is a co-owner of Outsiders Combat Club in Oklahoma City, where she coaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, striking, MMA, and strength and conditioning. She has also appeared in acting roles, including the film ‘The Squad’.
How They Built Their Wealth
Avila’s income has come from UFC fight purses and win bonuses, along with her coaching and co-ownership stake in Outsiders Combat Club. UFC base fighter pay for competitors outside the top tier of champions and headliners is not publicly disclosed in full, so no verified net worth figure can be given.
Julia Avila’s career, split between the UFC cage and her coaching business back home in Oklahoma City, reflects the reality for most professional fighters outside the sport’s biggest pay-per-view stars.
