Ex-UFC star announces OnlyFans move as fans call for Paige VanZant collaboration

Rachael Ostovich is the latest fighter to make an OnlyFans account as fight fans want her to collaborate with former opponent Paige VanZant.

Ostovich, 32, has joked that she "switched sides" by joining the subscription service as fans can pay $14.99 a month to see exclusive content on her account. The former UFC fighter previously shut down the idea of her signing up for OnlyFans when she tweeted in 2020: "If you on your OnlyFans game making that money, get it girl, but all you weirdos saying ‘OnlyFans’ next for me... like that’s my only option can kiss my a**."

One user suggested that now Ostovich is on OnlyFans she should work with VanZant, who also crossed over to the platform after launching her own exclusive fan site. "Collab with Paige VanZant," a comment read. "Work with Paige," another user added. Ostovich and VanZant have previously fought twice, once in the UFC and once in bare-knuckle boxing.

VanZant dislocated Ostovich's arm in their UFC fight four years ago as the gutsy flyweight tried desperately not to tap when VanZant caught her with a submission. Ostovich got her revenge two years later as she won her bare-knuckle boxing debut by beating VanZant at BKFC 19.

A trilogy fight between the pair is unlikely to happen anytime soon as both VanZant and Ostovich haven't fought since their bare-knuckle meeting. VanZant has admitted that she makes more money from OnlyFans than she does from fighting, despite signing a multi-million dollar deal with BKFC after leaving the UFC in 2020.

BKFC president David Feldman admitted that VanZant is unlikely to fight for the organisation again because of her financial success outside of the ring. "She’s making a lot of money doing her other businesses and maybe she doesn’t want to do this anymore,“ Feldman told Mirror Fighting.

"She is definitely welcome with the organisation it’s just a matter of what she wants to do. I think this helps her other revenue streams, it gives her notoriety to be able to get fans for her other revenue streams. I don’t think she’s going to turn it down because of money, I think the only reason she would turn it down is if she doesn’t have the desire to fight anymore."
