Hey there, fight fans and curious minds! Let’s talk about Paige VanZant, the UFC sensation who traded punches for a different kind of spotlight - and a massive paycheck to match. This blonde bombshell recently spilled the tea on how she made more money in her first 24 hours on OnlyFans than she did throughout her entire career in the octagon. Can you believe it?
Paige burst onto the UFC scene back in December 2013, joining the inaugural women’s strawweight division as one of the first 11 fighters. With a record of eight wins and five losses by 2020, plus a high-octane fighting style, she quickly became a fan favorite and one of the UFC’s most marketable stars. But after a tough submission loss to Amanda Ribas at UFC 251 in 2020, she shocked the MMA world by announcing her retirement.
Fast forward to 2021, and Paige decided to step into a whole new ring by launching her OnlyFans account. Offering exclusive photos and personal interactions with subscribers, she didn’t just dip her toe in - she dove headfirst into this spicy new venture. And honey, it paid off in ways she never imagined.
"I couldn’t believe my eyes - in just one hour on OnlyFans, I had 52,000 subscribers, and I knew right then that our lives had changed forever," Paige shared on the Only Stans podcast.
Speaking of that life-changing moment, Paige revealed how the platform completely reshaped her financial landscape. She told TMZ that fighting is now just a “hobby” and a “part-time job” for her. With the kind of income OnlyFans brought in, who needs the stress of the octagon?
Thanks to her OnlyFans success, Paige and her husband, boxer Austin Vanderford, have been able to step back from the grueling world of professional fighting and live life on their terms. She’s not just a star on the platform - she’s one of its biggest names, raking in the kind of cash that spells true financial freedom.
Paige’s bold move also shines a light on a growing trend among athletes. From sharing professional content to pushing boundaries with more provocative material, platforms like OnlyFans are becoming a go-to for sports stars looking to cash in. It’s a shift that’s got everyone talking - and maybe a little curious too, right?
