BKFC brawler ‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings is more than happy to take credit for the explosion of combat sports athletes finding financial success on OnlyFans.

Rawlings has made a career for herself competing in multiple major combat sports organizations, including Invicta FC, the UFC, and most recently, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. However, she found herself in a bit of a bind during the COVID-19 pandemic when the world shut down, leaving her stuck in Australia with few options for a reliable income. Determined to stay afloat, Rawlings decided to test out her earning potential on the popular subscription-based site.

Three short years later, OnlyFans has become synonymous with the combat sports community. Fighters such as Paige VanZant, Felice Herrig, Pearl Gonzalez, Ailin Perez, and Jessica Penne have found a great deal of success baring their assets for thirsty fans willing to pay a monthly fee.

But it’s no longer limited to the photogenic female fighters in the sport. Heavyweight GOAT Stipe Miocic and the Professional Fighters League have launched their own OnlyFans accounts, giving fans exclusive access to training videos and insight into the fight game.

“It’s f*cking cool,” Rawlings told MMA Fighting. “Like when I saw Floyd Mayweather walk out with a hat with an OnlyFans logo on it, I was like, this is f*cking cool. It’s even hit boxing! I’ve never really looked at it that way, I don’t like to blow smoke up my own ass, but I definitely was a trailblazer now that you mention it.”

Despite the booming success, there remains a stigma surrounding athletes who embrace the seedier side of OnlyFans, but none that was a concern for Rawlings.

“Myself and Jessica Penne were just talking earlier, we were the f*cking OG’s of that sh*t,” Rawlings said. “We were the first fighters to take that f*cking leap and sign up and promote it, and everyone was like, ‘Are they doing porn?’ Or, ‘that’s risky,’ this or that. We’re like no, it doesn’t have to be porn. It can be f*cking mainstream sh*t, too, it’s just exclusive content. Now, every fighter and their f*cking dog are on OnlyFans.”

Bec Rawlings is Ready to Toe The Line at BKFC 56

On December 2, Bec Rawlings will make her long-awaited return to the squared circle at BKFC 56 for a flyweight title fight with reigning champion Christine Ferea. By the time she toes the line in Salt Lake City, it will have been seven months since her last appearance with the promotion. In the meantime, ‘Rowdy’ has continued to live a life of financial security thanks to OnlyFans.

“It’s definitely helped me pay the bills and stay on top, especially when I only fight twice a year this year,” Rawlings said. “So yeah, it’s been great, and it’s nice to be able to connect with fans on another level, and not so much on Instagram, and be able to put out exclusive content and talk to people. A bit more personable.

“I’ve always kind of been fighter Bec I guess on Instagram and Facebook, and on OnlyFans, you see a different side of me. I’m still enjoying it. I’m still on there live and popping on there.”

Rawlings’ fight with Ferea will be a rematch of their BKFC 41 clash in April. After two highly entertaining rounds of back-and-forth action, the bout was stopped by the ringside doctors after ‘Rowdy’ sustained a significant cut on her eyebrow.

It was an undeniably frustrating finish for Rawlings who found a fair amount of success against Ferea, a fighter known for steamrolling her competition over the last five years.

“I think it’s easy to look dominant and look like a bully when the caliber of fighters you’re fighting aren’t that great,” Rawlings said about Ferea. “I’ve traveled the world and fought the best around the world for a long time. That doesn’t work on me. You’re not going to intimidate me. You’re not going to bully me.

“I definitely think that my style versus her style is a good matchup, and it proved to be a good matchup in the first fight. I just think I’m technically better, and if all she has is toughness and aggression, I have that, too. So you’ve got to bring something else to the table. I think I’m just going to outwork her. I’m going to out skill her. I’m more technical. I’m more of a sharpshooter, and I’m obviously not going to let her bully me like I didn’t the last time either. It’s going to make a good fight.”

Ex-UFC Star Paige VanZant makes more money in 24 Hours on onlyFans than in Her Entire Combat Sports Career

Paige VanZant

Paige VanZant is making way more money on OnlyFans than she ever did by getting punched in the face for a living.

Becoming a professional mixed martial artist in 2012, VanZant worked her way into the UFC where she showed a great deal of promise, earning three straight wins in her first year with the promotion. However, her success was not sustainable as ’12 Gauge’ went on to lose four of her last six. Despite that, the UFC was still interested in retaining her services as her star power on social media continued to grow.

Instead, VanZant decided to gamble on herself by leaving the UFC in search of greener pastures. Shortly after, PVZ landed a lucrative deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, making her promotional debut in 2021. Since signing on the dotted line, she’s only made two appearances with the promotion, both losses.

In the time since Paige VanZant has established herself as one of the top content creators on the popular subscription-based website OnlyFans. ’12 Gauge’ is essentially making money hand over fist, so much so that she reportedly earned more in 24 hours on the site than in her entire combat sports career.

“OnlyFans has definitely been my largest source of income, I would say combined, in my fighting career,” VanZant said while speaking with Barstool Sports’ Glenny Balls on the Only Stans podcast. “I think I made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I had in my entire fighting career. Combined. Yeah.”

What Started Out as some scantily clad fun, became a massive x-Rated moneymaker for paige vanZant

After six years inside the Octagon and a huge presence on Instagram, VanZant decided to give OnlyFans a shot, charging potential subscribers $9.99 per month to see her like they never have before.

“I would say when I made the switch to — there’s a lot of stuff I’ve done in my career. I’ve been really fortunate in my career,” VanZan continued. Even outside of the UFC and out of fighting has been pretty successful. I’ve worked pretty hard in other industries and trying to cross over, I guess (to) a more mainstream personality.”

Initially, VanZant’s foray into becoming an online model was fairly innocent with her offering PG-rated content through her website, but a surge in demand and popularity led her down the path of OnlyFans where she now offers up some very NSFW content to her most loyal of supporters.

“I did extremely well. It was life-changing money. I did that for about two years,” she added before noting that influx is what persuaded her to join OnlyFans. “My content started very PG, I was doing everything like Instagram, plus a little bit extra,” she added.

X-Rated OnlyFans boxer Elle Brooke concerned that a crazed fan may try to clone her

With all the advancements in genetics and DNA manipulation, influencer Elle Brooke can’t help but wonder what some of her fans are really up to when they come calling for her dirty laundry.

And we literally mean dirty laundry.

The 3-1 boxer recently revealed that one avid fan was on the hunt for her sweaty gym clothes. The sweatier the better. The request had Brooke questioning why someone would even want something so unhygienic. Naturally, she came to the most logical conclusion; someone might be trying to make their own Elle Brooke.

“Some guy wanted to buy sweaty clothes, to the point where you could ring them out. Like training gear, socks, anything like that. I was just like oh man, that’s a bit unhygienic cause I work out really hard,” Brooke told OnlyAccounts.io. “I always think, what if someone wants to clone me? Elle Brooke vs. Elle Brooke? Or make it a tag team with four of us? I’d love to do a tag team with my sister. I sparred her recently.”

The sale of ring-used gear and undergarments has been a lucrative business for quite some time but with the emergence of fans desperate to get their hands on the bath water and sweat of their favorite celebs and online personalities, one can’t help but wonder what the endgame is.

Elle Brooke Exposes Kyngpin Boxing’s Shady Tactics

Elle Brooke last competed in July under the Kyngpin Boxing banner in Dublin. Brooke fell to fellow influencer Jully Oliveira at the event, suffering her first loss as a pugilist. Following the fight, Elle Brooke revealed that the embattled fight promotion practically ghosted its fighters following their inaugural card in April.

“Between the first and the second Kingpyn tournament show, no fighter had any communication from the owners until two weeks before the fight,” Brooke said. “We were all messaging each other like, ‘What the f*ck is going on?’ Even the amazing event staff and the social media team were in the dark. None of us knew what the f*ck was happening.

“We were then told that the first event didn’t do well at all and that the investors had pulled out and it was likely that this show wasn’t even gonna happen. Days later we were told the event could still happen but on the condition it was on DAZN and that we would be paid on a revenue-share basis.”

Two weeks prior to the event, Kyngpin Boxing was bankrupt and ready to pull the plug before DAZN came along and offered them an opportunity to keep the lights on.

“Of course, all the fighters were pissed off about this, we’ve been working our asses off for months and months and we wanted to fight,” Brooke continued. “We were backed up in a corner to accept if we wanted to fight and most of us did. We have been training for months and months. You don’t know the amount of hard work that goes into the back of a fight.

“The owners knew that the investors had pulled out days after the first tournament show. They waited until two weeks prior to the second tournament show to tell us that the investors had pulled out. And this is after all the fighters had been training months and they had promoted the show” (h/t MMA Mania).

No additional Kyngpin Boxing events have been announced beyond the July card at 3Arena.

OnlyFans model Daniella Hemsley gave fans inside Dublin’s 3Arena more than they bargained for at Saturday’s Kingpyn Boxing event.

Hemsley stepped into the squared circle for the second time this year after suffering a unanimous decision loss in an exhibition boxing bout with Jully Oliveira in July. This time, Hemsley would come out on top, besting Aleksandra Daniel, also known as Ms. Danielka, in a five-round bout during the Kingpyn Boxing High Stakes Tournament which features influencers from around the world coming together and battling it out inside the boxing ring.

Hemsley earned a unanimous decision over her opponent via scores of 48-47,48-47, and 49-46 from the ringside judges.

Daniella Hemsley Delivers a Memorable Post-Fight Celebration

Elated by the victory, Hemsley delivered one of the more memorable post-fight celebrations in recent memory by lifting her top, exposing her breasts, and jumping around the ring for the world to see.

Speaking in a post-fight interview, Hemsley said she “wanted to express herself.” Needless to say, she accomplished her goal. Of course, not everyone wanted to enjoy the show she was putting on, including post-fight interviewer Wade Plem who practically ran across the ring in response to the northern exposure.

This isn’t the first celebration of its kind. Last year, BKFC standout Tai Emery shocked fans at an event in Thailand when she jumped onto the ring ropes and exposed herself to the sea of onlookers. The spectacle reportedly increased traffic to Emery’s OnlyFans page by 6000%. Based on the reaction Daniella Hemsley is getting on social media for her own viral post-fight celebration, we can only assume she will also see a massive flood of new subscribers on OnlyFans.

Alice Ardelean, OnlyFans

Alice Ardelean had to change gyms after receiving complaints from her former training partners’ wives surrounding her Onlyfans account. 

The Romanian-born fighter now trains at Ronin MMA based in Birmingham, England. The 30-year-old spoke with the Daily Star about the drama she experienced at her past gym. 

“I used to train at a gym when I started OnlyFans and I kept getting dirty looks,” said. “I even had a few messages from wives from guys in the gym saying ‘you are such a whatever’ and calling me names. They were afraid their husbands would subscribe. I was forced to move gyms to avoid all this drama. In reality the only reason why I was doing OnlyFans was to be able to pay for my training, nutritionist and gym equipment every day.”

Alice Ardelean Got “Nasty” Hate In Her Old Gym

Despite relying on OnlyFans to fund her career, Ardelean received backlash for her explicit content. 

“I was just minding my own business but the hate was there. Some of the hate was nasty and women in the gym were complaining about me. It was just embarrassing. It was like, shut up, I am not here to take your man. This is just my job and I’m not interfering with your job. It’s not my fault if your husband was on my OnlyFans or not.”

Ardelean’s MMA record is 7-5. She’s won her past five fights and last defeated Jenny Line by knockout at Battle Arena Birmingham in March. Her last two scheduled bouts were canceled but she is scheduled to compete for the world strawweight EFC title in March. She currently makes about $12,000 USD a month from OnlyFans. 

“I used to be bullied because I was a bit chubby. I started doing MMA about 12 years ago because the guys were a bit aggressive and I was scared somebody was going to hurt me. It is really weird because some of my bullies have been sliding into my DMs which is funny.” (h/t Daily Star)
