Ex-UFC Star Paige VanZant makes a shocking confession about her fighting career

MMA and wrestling icon

Paige VanZant has been, is and will be one of the most well-known and relevant MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighters, a circuit in which she debuted in 2012.

The ex-UFC star, Paige VanZant is regarded as one of the best fighters in her Flyweight fighter category. The MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter has come out with some shocking confessions about her career!

It's not as profitable as it seems...

Contrary to popular belief, fighters involved in the UFC don't make a giant fortune for the amount of risk involved in the sport. Paige VanZant is one of those fighters, even though her career spans over a decade, she has made more money away from the ring!

Alternative business

As Paige VanZant herself has confirmed, "I earned more money in 24 hours on a popular adult platform than in my entire wrestling career."

Speechless

It was on the 'Only Stans' podcast, from Barstool Sports, where the fighter made this statement that left all her followers speechless.

It all started in 2020

It was in 2020 when the fighter decided to start a new career in a new industry. She made a profile on the well-known adult content website, where she started making good money!

From less to more

This platform "has definitely been my biggest source of income," reaffirms Paige VanZant, who started with suggestive photos but, over time, has made the leap to more specific content.

"Conventional transition"

"I'm trying to make the transition to a more conventional way of making money. If people don't want to hire me because I'm on this platform, I don't care," she in a podcast.

Whoever is bothered, don't look

This comment came like a dart to WWE, where her fellow discipline Mandy Rose was fired, after taking the same initiative as her, on the same digital platform.

Big demand

In the case of Paige VanZant, the idea of starting this journey came from her own fans, who encouraged her to do so.

Million dollar business model

Originally, she started charging just over 10 US dollars a month and, today, she is one of the undeniable stars of the platform. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the athlete has a net worth of two million dollars.

Pushing Instagram to the limit

Her social media platforms have transformed from UFC content to sharing day-to-day images that could be censored by said social media.
