Spiller clocked 26 yesterday and made a post on her page celebrating her new age with a picture of her and a lovely caption.

"God has made the last 26 years of my life a story worth telling, and from the time you're born, you have no control; you can't choose your parents, and unless you're suicidal, you can't choose your death. The only thing you can do is choose the person you love, be kind to others, and make your brutally short stint on earth full of purpose," she said.

Du Plessis paid lower than Adesanya after UFC 305 win

Legit.ng earlier reported that Du Plessis made a hefty sum from the UFC 305, but it was smaller compared to what his opponent, Adesanya, reportedly made from the bout.

The South African was expected to make more money than Adesanya from the fight, considering he won the bout and is the current champion in their weight class, but the reverse is the case.

Du Plessis was guaranteed to receive $500,000 in base pay and an extra $42,000 in sponsorships before the bout but the amount is lower than Adesanya's guaranteed base pay of $750,000, while his sponsorship pay is $32k.
