Former UFC star Paige VanZant appeared to put fighting on the backburner, turning her attention to her lucrative modeling career.
The Oregon native fought in UFC from 2013 to 2020 and is currently in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. She also had a brief stint with All Elite Wrestling.

While she’s made the rounds in the fighting world, it’s her OnlyFans page that’s really seen success.
“Fighting, I have to understand now, is just a hobby. It’s my part-time job,” she told TMZ for it’s “Famous & Naked” special. “I have to realize that OnlyFans is what’s providing everything for me.
“There’s a lot of things I would do to provide and support for my family,” she added. “I would kill for my family. This is much less than that.”
