Valentina Shevchenko has fired back at Ronda Rousey after the 39-year-old dragged her name while criticizing fighter pay in the UFC by pointing out that fighters are still being underpaid despite the promotionâs new seven-year, $7.7 billion deal with Paramount.
Rousey is set to make her MMA return on May 16 in a hexagon cage against Gina Carano. She and Carano will headline Netflixâs first-ever live MMA broadcast and MVPâs inaugural MMA event.Â
Just yesterday, during the Rousey vs. Carano presser, âRowdyâ used Valentina Shevchenkoâs name and the latterâs other ventures as an example to show that UFC fighters cannot rely on fight pay alone to survive.
After Jon Jonesâ recent lowball claim, Zuffaâs signing of Conor Benn, and Eddie Hearn pushing for a revolution, now âRowdyâ has joined the long list of individuals who have issues with how the UFC has treated and underpaid fighters, and the trend continues.Rousey at the presser was busy taking shots at her ex-boss, Dana White. She also opined that the UFC is one of the worst places to go:
âThe White House Card sucks⊠The UFC is one of the worst places to go. So many of their top athletes are leaving to find and pay elsewhere.â
She then dragged Shevchenkoâs name into the mix and added:
âItâs why their champions like Valentina [Shevchenko] are selling pictures of their ti*ties on OnlyFans.â

The comments made by Ronda Rousey didnât sit well with the two-time and current UFC womenâs flyweight queen. Valentina Shevchenko immediately fired back at âRowdyâ by posting on X:
âItâs 2026. Fighters using OnlyFans is just a new way to connect with fans đ Looks like Ronda slept too long after her last fight in 2016 đŽâ

âBulletâ launched her OnlyFans in December 2024, where fans can see her training clips, travel vlogs, and her life outside the octagon, unlike what Rousey suggested.
Cris Cyborg also showed support for Shevchenko. She commented on the above post:
ââ€ïž I love your @OnlyFans page and following your travels.â
Meanwhile, a netizen schooled Rousey by commenting:
âSome people think everyone on OnlyFans sells their nudeâ
