UFC champ in bizarre Paige VanZant rant as MMA star admits she earned more from OnlyFans than fighting
PAIGE VANZANT has been trolled by UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland after revealing she’s made more money selling racy content than she did fighting.
VanZant spent nearly six years in mixed martial arts top promotion before being cut following a submission win to Amanda Ribas in July 2020.
The former straw and flyweight contender turned her hand to selling saucy snaps on OnlyFans and her own members-only website to top up her income.
The blonde bombshell immediately began raking in the cash, so much so that she quickly eclipsed entire octagon earnings.
Her recent admission about her earnings didn’t sit well with middleweight king Strickland, who launched a blistering attack on the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and women’s MMA star.
‘Tarzan’ wrote on X: “Paige Vanzant said she made more on only fans in 24 hours than she did in the UFC. Let’s unpack.
“1. You were signed because you’re hot.
“2. Women’s mma is lame.
“3. Men will pay more to see you naked than to watch you fight.
“Stay in school kids, fighting sucks lol.”

VanZant, 29, has yet to respond to Strickland’s brutal putdown of her career.
Strickland’s extremely misogynistic and belittling rant travelled like wildfire and soon came to the attention of former UFC women’s flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko.
She wrote: “Interesting unpack here. That looks more like an offended kid, who got less money in his entire fighter career than female fighters do!
“Good try, maybe UFC will see that and add some cash to your purse next time. But for now naked is you are.”
Strickland – a self-admitted former Neo Nazi – hit back at the Kyrgyzstani killer with another misogynistic rant, in which he mocked her March loss to Alex Grasso.
He said: “Valentina you lost to a girl who pulls guard, you look like you learned striking from a YouTube video.
“LMAO female MMA. It’s like watching children fight it’s fun but we all know it’s trash.
“You only have a job because you know when to put heels on and take off your clothes.”
Strickland claimed the middleweight title in September with a shock decision win over Israel Adesanya in Sydney, Australia.
He will bid to make his first defence of the 185lbs crown against surging South African Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 297 in Toronto on January 20.
