In a recent Instagram Q&A session, former UFC flyweight fighter Paige VanZant addressed a commonly asked question about her involvement on OnlyFans:
“Why do you sell your body?”
VanZant provided a candid response that set the record straight.
“I have a somewhat controversial answer to this, that I don’t know that everyone is gonna agree with. I don’t sell my body. I sell pictures of my body, pictures, videos, content of my body. The only person that can have my body is my husband,” clarified VanZant.
Paige also added that she pride she takes in her hard-earned physique.
Last month during an interview with Barstool Sports’ Glenny Balls, VanZant disclosed that her income from OnlyFans far surpasses what she earned during her illustrious fighting career.
Acknowledging the financial benefits, she shared:
“I think I made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I had in my entire fighting career. Combined. Yeah.”
Initially apprehensive about the potential impact on her public image, VanZant’s reservations faded as the financial rewards became evident.
“I was nervous about the stigma, but now it’s like, you know, it’s hard to walk away from that,” she admitted.
VanZant, with a professional MMA record of 8 wins and 5 losses, last competed in 2021, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Rachael Ostovich in her second BKFC appearance.
In 2022, she joined OnlyFans, marking a shift in her career trajectory.
Paige VanZant married fellow MMA fighter Austin Vanderford in September 2018, after meeting in 2017 through mutual friend Chael Sonnen. Vanderford is a two-time NAIA All-American wrestler.
