While some specialized portals indicate that his total estimated net worth is between $500,000 and $1 million dollars.
While in the octagon, Cannonier is looking for a title shot, Borralho is looking to move up the rankings, also looking for a title shot, accompanied by a high standing among fighters in the middleweight division and one of the highest earners, as a regular seed in the Top 5, where he has fought most of the contenders in recent years.
