Paige VanZant reflects on her decision to generate income through her tailor-made subscription site after departing from the UFC, her former home for six years.
The 27-year-old had garnered a significant online following primarily for her physical appearance but had resisted the proposition of joining platforms like OnlyFans. After her final UFC bout, she shifted gears to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, a rising fight league, and launched her very own subscriber website.
VanZant shared, “It was a dilemma for me. There were pros and cons. I was apprehensive about potentially missing out on business opportunities due to having an exclusive content website. Yet, I was already perceived as a sex symbol in the realm of sports.
“I thought it made sense to capitalize on that. I wanted to do this on my own terms.
“I decided to team up with Fan Time, which is a distinct entity. I’m not associated with OnlyFans. I have autonomy over my website, where I curate exclusive content. I take pride in being a part of this venture.
“I put in a lot of effort to maintain my physique and identity. There’s a part of me that’s delicate and girly, and I’m able to express that through my subscriber site. Society is gradually normalizing this.”

“Previously, OnlyFans had a reputation linked more so with adult entertainers. It had a slightly more explicit image in the public eye.
“It’s not a reflection of the actual content present there, but I wanted to undertake this process in my way. I sought a professional approach and created my own platform, and that’s precisely what I’ve achieved.”
VanZant is gearing up to resume her bare-knuckle boxing journey as she prepares for a rematch against Rachael Ostovich, revisiting a past UFC bout.
Expressing her financial elevation along her unconventional career path, she mentions, “Upon signing with BKFC, I began earning more than my entire UFC tenure. Now, my monthly income surpasses my total BKFC contract. It’s quite remarkable.”
