Paige VanZant is making a lot more money on OnlyFans than she ever made from her career as a professional mixed martial artist.
VanZant started her career in 2012 as a martial artist and joined the UFC after showing great potential with three consecutive wins in her first year. However, her success was short-lived as she lost four out of her last six matches. Regardless, the UFC wanted to keep her due to her increasing popularity on social media.
However, VanZant chose to leave the UFC and signed a lucrative contract with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Since then, she has only participated in two matches, losing both.
After her stint in BKFC, VanZant established herself as a top content creator on the subscription-based platform. She reportedly earned more in 24 hours on OnlyFans than in her entire martial arts career.
“In my fighting career, OnlyFans has definitely been my biggest source of income,” VanZant said in an interview with Barstool Sports’ Glennie Boles. stance only podcast. “I think he made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than he made in his entire martial arts career. Combined. Yeah.”

What started as scantily clad entertainment turned into a big moneymaker for Paige VanZant
After spending six years in the octagon, VanZant, who has a large following on Instagram, transitioned to OnlyFans and charged subscribers $9.99 a month for exclusive content.
“I think I’ve done a lot of things in my career when I’ve moved on. I’ve been really lucky in my career,” VanZant continued. “He has had quite a bit of success outside of the UFC and outside of competition. I’ve worked pretty hard in other industries, but I think I’m trying to cross over into a more mainstream personality.”
Initially, VanZant’s venture into online modeling started innocently, offering PG-rated content on her website. However, the increase in demand led her to join OnlyFans, where she now provides very explicit content to her loyal supporters.
“I did very well. It was life-changing money. I did it for about two years,” she added, noting that the influx motivated her to join OnlyFans. “My content started off very PG, doing everything like Instagram and stuff, plus a little bit extra,” she added.
