Paige VanZant is one of the most popular female sports stars in the world today.

Making her UFC debut in 2014, ’12 Gauge’ immediately became a favorite among fight fans for her striking appearance and her ability to kick a** inside the Octagon. Scoring three-straight wins with the promotion, it appeared as though VanZant was primed for superstardom. However, her path to fame and fortune wouldn’t be through the fight game. Instead, she grew her following on social media platforms like Instagram.

Then OnlyFans changed everything.

Within 24 hours of offering content on the popular subscription-based service, Paige VanZant eclipsed her earnings from a decade-long career of getting punch in the face.
