Valentina Shevchenko has taken exception to Ronda Rousey’s speculation regarding her use of OnlyFans.
One of the statements that raised eyebrows during Rousey’s rant about UFC fighter pay during Tuesday’s MVP press conference was in regards to Shevchenko needing to use OnlyFans as an additional source of income.

“It’s why so many of their top athletes are leaving to go and find pay elsewhere,” Rousey said of the UFC. “It’s why their champions like Valentina are selling pictures of their titties on OnlyFans. These people, a lot of them at the ground level, they can’t support their families. They’re living poverty-level fighting full-time.”
Out of Touch?
Once Shevchenko got wind of those comments, she issued a scathing response to Rousey via social media, indicating that the former UFC bantamweight champion might be out of touch with how the platform can be used.
“It’s 2026. Fighters using OnlyFans is just a new way to connect with fans,” Shevchenko wrote on social media. “Looks like Ronda slept too long after her last fight in 2016.”
Shevchenko is the reigning UFC flyweight queen and is currently No. 1 in Sherdog’s female pound-for-pound rankings. She is coming off a dominant peformance at UFC 322, when she controlled former strawweight champ Weili Zhang for five rounds in a unanimous decision triumph. Rousey, meanwhile, will return to active competition for the first time in nearly a decade when she meets Gina Carano in the headliner of a Most Valuable Promotions card that will air via Netflix on May 16.
