An MMA fighter turned saucy model has said bullies who used to hurl insults at her are now drooling over her sexy pictures and sliding into her DMs.
Alice Ardelean, who is one win away from the UFC, pays for her training by selling saucy images on OnlyFans and she has been told she has the “biggest and roundest booty” in fighting.
She says she was once bullied over her weight but now proudly boasts to have the "roundest booties" in MMA.

Speaking with Daily Star, the Birmingham-based fighter said: “I used to be bullied because I was a bit chubby.
“So I started doing MMA about 12 years ago because the guys were a bit aggressive and I was scared somebody was going to hurt me.
“It is really weird because some of my bullies have been sliding into my DMs which is funny.
"I used to play a shooting game all day in an internet café my dad owned.
“Every time I was online they would say ‘oh my god you are so fat’ and ‘you fat b***h’.
“But personally I prefer myself a bit chubby. I can’t wait to get out of fight camp so I can gain a bit of weight because that’s when I feel good.”
Alice, who is originally from Romania, said learning how to fight changed her life and she is now one step away from the biggest combat promotion in the world.
But she credits her success to three years ago when she turned to OnlyFans to help fund her dream of making it big.
The 30-year-old went from earning £600 a month as a security officer to pocketing up to £10,000 a month on the subscription site.
Alice takes racy images in between training sessions and she has been on a five fight winning streak since OnlyFans allowed her to train full time.
She said: “As a fighter I am not really athletic with big muscles but I have a big ass. So loads of people subscribed and fighting and OnlyFans go really well.
“Obviously I get a lot of hate from people but they don’t give me anything and their opinions don’t matter.
“I've also got a lot of hate from MMA fans that never helped me or gave me a piece of bread when I was hungry saying that I haven't got self respect and dignity.
“If only dignity would pay bills, rent, electricity, water, gas, food, training and equipment.
“I'm now known in MMA all around the world and popular for having one of the biggest and roundest booties.”
Alice is fighting for a world strawweight EFC title in South Africa in March and has been told a win will secure her a UFC contract.
She would then join the billion dollar company where the likes of Conor McGregor and Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett became household names.
As for herself, she said: “That would mean be a lot to reach the UFC. For every fighter this is their dream.
“Before OnlyFans I couldn’t afford to train properly but now I do four to six sessions every day and even one training session on Sunday.
“I am really close and I won’t stop now.”
