UFC flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko, uses OnlyFans<\/a> to promote herself and increase her brand visibility.<\/p>\n

The subscription-based social media platform is popular among adult content creators and other UFC athletes like Jessica Andrade previously peddled nude pics<\/a> to help pay the bills (a decision she later regretted<\/a>). At the same time, male fighters like Kevin Holland<\/a> also use OnlyFans to generate exclusive fan content.<\/p>\n

As for Shevchenko, her page<\/a> is dedicated to her fighting career and does not offer risqu\u00e9 photos.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt used to be that UFC was the best place you could come in combat sports to make a living and be paid fairly,\u201d Rousey said at the MVP kickoff press conference<\/a>. \u201cAnd now it\u2019s no longer. It\u2019s one of the worst places to go. It\u2019s why so many of their top athletes are leaving to go and find pay elsewhere. It\u2019s why their champions like Valentina [Shevchenko] are selling pictures of their titties on Only Fans. These people, a lot of them at the ground level, they can\u2019t support their families. They\u2019re living poverty level fighting full-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis company just got $7.7 billion,\u201d Rousey added. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason they can\u2019t afford to pay their athletes at least a living wage. And not even that, to be able to match what these athletes are making in other sports. Why would they expect to get the best athletes and the best aspiring kids that want to be something into MMA? Why not go into football? Why not go into boxing? Why not go into anything else? So, they\u2019re bleeding talent because of their short-term greed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shevchenko was unimpressed with Rousey\u2019s ice-cold take.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 2026. Fighters using OnlyFans is just a new way to connect with fans,\u201d Shevchenko wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cLooks like Ronda slept too long after her last fight in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love your OnlyFans page and following your travels,\u201d Rousey rival Cris Cyborg wrote in support<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko, uses OnlyFans to promote herself and increase her brand visibility.
