UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko brutally responded to former bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey’s comments about OnlyFans on Wednesday.
Rousey’s comments came during the Most Valuable Promotion’s Rousey vs. Carano Kickoff Press Conference on Tuesday. Rousey was criticizing the UFC over fighter pay and used Shevchenko as an example to drive home the point.
“It used to be that UFC was the best place you could come in combat sports to make a living and be paid fairly. And now it’s no longer. It’s one of the worst places to go. It’s why so many of their top athletes are leaving to go and find pay elsewhere. It’s why their champions like Valentina [Shevchenko] are selling pictures of their titties on OnlyFans,” Rousey said.
“Bullet” responded to Rousey’s comments much like she fights inside the octagon, with aggression and bad intentions.
“It’s 2026. Fighters using OnlyFans is just a new way to connect with fans,” Shevchenko wrote on X. “Looks like Ronda slept too long after her last fight in 2016.”
