While she’s made the rounds in the fighting world, it’s her OnlyFans page that’s really seen success.
"Fighting, I have to understand now, is just a hobby. It’s my part-time job," she told TMZ for it’s "Famous & Naked" special. "I have to realize that OnlyFans is what's providing everything for me.
"There's a lot of things I would do to provide and support for my family," she added. "I would kill for my family. This is much less than that."
