A few months ago, before her scheduled Netflix fight with Gina Carano<\/a>, Ronda Rousey<\/a> appeared for a press conference for her MMA comeback fight. However, at the press conference, Rousey began a rant on Dana White’s extremely low UFC pay<\/a>.<\/p>\n Beginning her rant on White, Rousey also continued to call out insults directed at Valentina Shivchenko and other fighters, who use OnlyFans to earn a bit more money<\/a> than their fight income. \u201cIt used to be that the UFC was the best place that you could come in combat sports to make a living and be paid fairly. Now, it’s one of the worst places to go,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s why so many of their top athletes are going to find pay elsewhere. It\u2019s why their champions, like Valentina [Shevchenko], are selling pictures of their t***ies on OnlyFans.\u201d<\/p>\n However, her comments did not sit well with BKFC fighter Taylor Starling, who was one of the first stars to embrace OnlyFans as another source of income. While she agreed that UFC significantly underpays its fighters, she countered her comments<\/a> on OnlyFans and spoke out.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a whole, there\u2019s plenty of women I don\u2019t like, but at the end of the day, we\u2019re all trying to do the same thing: Provide for our families,\u201d Starling told during her interview with MMA Fighting. \u201cWork hard and be good people. I think we can do without tearing each other apart. Now, do I wish that in the fighting industry that we made more money so we didn\u2019t have to do things like that? Of course. But it is a blessing, and I can\u2019t take your opinion to the bank. If you are not paying my bills and you\u2019re not the man laying by me in my bed or the woman laying next to me in my bed, then your opinion is nothing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Starling recently fought Sydney Smith at BKFC Blood4Blood in May. 6, 2026, in Florida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A few months ago, before her scheduled Netflix fight with Gina Carano, Ronda Rousey appeared for a press conference for her MMA comeback fight.
