Many top athletes are now venturing into OnlyFans due to the lucrative financial return of the few top-performing stars on the platform. Even male and female MMA athletes do not hesitate to venture into the online adult content creation platform. Despite a high-paying income from OnlyFans, a former UFC star revealed how she is still pursuing her combat sports career. She credited her career’s continuation to none other than LeBron James and Tom Brady.
LeBron James and Tom Hardy are stellar examples of athletes who have refined their fitness and mentality to enhance their long-lasting careers. This is why LeBron at the age of 38 and Brady at the age of 46 are still going strong in their respective sport. This was really inspiring for former UFC star Paige VanZant, who looks to continue her career in fighting.
Ex-UFC Star inspired by veterans LeBron James and Tom Brady
Former UFC flyweight star Paige VanZant has been quite vocal about her OnlyFans content. She recently sat down with MMAFighting for an interview where she discussed how she is juggling between her MMA career and stint in the adult modeling industry. VanZant said:
“I don’t have to fight another day in my life… If you ask LeBron James, why do you still play basketball? You don’t need to. Why do all these NBA players, NFL players get to a point in their career like Tom Brady — he doesn’t need to play football anymore, but why does he? I don’t compare myself to those people and their greatness, but definitely to their drive to want to continue to be successful.“
VanZant did not have the best of time in UFC, the diva lost four out of nine fights in the biggest MMA promotion. She left UFC back in 2020 after losing against Amanda Ribas.
Following that, VanZant went on to join BKFC where she has had 8 wins and 5 losses. However, she is most famous for her content on OnlyFans.
Paige VanZant revealed she earned more in OF than in UFC
Former flyweight UFC fighter first announced that she wanted to join OnlyFans back in 2021. Since then, she has had immense success on the online adult content platform.
VanZant even claimed that she once had earned more in 24 hours from OnlyFans than she did in her entire MMA career. However, the participation of online adult content platforms still remains a polarizing subject.
Whilst more and more athletes and celebrities are joining the platform, it still remains frowned upon in some areas of the world.
