That says a lot about UFC.
UFC pays like shit for all but the top talent.
Tbf, she was never at risk of being considered that so it doesn’t say that much about the pay scale vs OF.
And people wonder why all these teachers are ending up on onlyfans
It's not like the profession has been treating them with any more respect anyway.
One of the only major sports without a union
I always say the NFL is the worst sport for athletes because their bodies get destroyed in return for relatively little money (at least for everybody except the superstars), but that's because I always forget about the UFC.
Still though a practice squad player in the NFL is clearing $500k+ a season. So it's at least a decent amount of money. Is it worth the future health problems with no pension? Not my decision, but at least it is an amount of money where there is a decision to be made.
MMA, Boxing, WWE... Haha go fuck yourself.
I don’t think so. If it was a male UFC fighter, he’d stand no chance of making as much money as her on a site like OnlyFans. And the UFC is pretty good about equal pay based on gender.
No, this is simply the newest iteration of one of the oldest truths in history: attractive women can milk desperate men for a king’s ransom any day of the week.
And probably a bit about UFC fans, too

The real hero, here.
hey thanks!
She made that much because she's a known fighter established within the UFC. UFC pays shit but it pays shit across the board unless you are a superstar.
I think it's sad seeing this considering all the women I know who have been suckered into making OFs only to make a few bucks from weirdos saving their nudes.
Porn is the same, really. Most people who do porn make very little money from it, but still have to deal with their naked bodies on the internet.
Seems like you should only do fans (and similar pages) if you already have a fan base in some other area. Otherwise it will end like you said.
Or if you just actually want to do sex work. It’s like camming. It can be a hobby where you pick up a couple bucks here and there. If you want it to be a job it’s going to be more like trying to make it as a musician or actor.
In general if you’re more or less normal you aren’t going to make any real money as a sex worker. Either you aren’t famous or attractive enough or you aren’t willing to do what it’ll take to make better money or you won’t settle for the little you’ll get or be willing to deal with people who have odd fetishes, possibly of your body type.
All internet media is basically the same on pay. Most people on you tube or twitch don't make much either.
Yeah, but they don't put their naked bodies out there.
OF out there making up for the gender pay gap
Trust me, it's not.
For every story like this, there are literally millions where regular women make next to nothing for their nudes.
Most normal women with OFs usually end up having a few subs from people they know who just want to distribute their nudes among peers. Imagine thinking you're going to make thousands when you end up making less than $100, and now everyone has your nudes.
That's the reality for most people on OF. And it's sad.
It's all down to exposure and even minor celebrity status can be leveraged to generate lots of views.
You see a similar thing in the acting community: celebrity actors aren't really better as actors than lots of unknowns out there (the quality all around of acting in places with very good acting colleges and a strong acting tradition, such as Britain, is really good) and often you get stories of people's careers taking off due to a mix of luck and persistence, and once people are in the public eye their careers pretty much shift gears (for reference, the average actor in the UK earns in average less than minimum wage from Acting).
If you consider "people having your nudes bad". I'm sure some do/have but many just don't care. My friend's sister has one. I subbed to support her and because she's hot. Unsubbed later because she was too expensive. Hung out with her at a party once and she didn't give a flying shit I had seen her buck naked. We just talked about normal stuff.
Lol, no joke, I thought you said "your sister" instead of your friend's sister.
I was like wtf lmao.
I can't believe this stuff, because it is a fox "news" article. Why was this even posted here? How can we be sure that this is even real considering everyone on this post says you don't make jack squat on that site
It's real, Fox News loves posting these horn-dog articles because it hits the bullseye of their conservative-value, low-morality base
OK but she wouldn't be as popular and wouldn't have made that much on OF if it weren't for her time in the UFC. I mean she's hot yea, but she's famous because of her mma career.
