Bellator<\/a> flyweight fighter Bec Rawlings says her OnlyFans page has been a game-changer during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

OnlyFans, for those unfamiliar, is an online subscription service that allows influencers and celebrities to charge for exclusive content. The platform is also used extensively by sex workers.<\/p>\n

Rawlings, like many fighters, hasn’t been able to fight as frequently as she intended this year due to the pandemic. Her OnlyFans page has helped her stay afloat during this period of financial strain.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook it\u2019s been a game changer for me,\u201d Rawlings told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019d be stressing and freaking out right now. I definitely wouldn\u2019t be in the situation I\u2019m in right now if I didn\u2019t start my OnlyFans. I took the plunge and I\u2019ve never really been one to care about what people think or say. I put myself out there and it\u2019s definitely paid off.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally, I\u2019d be freaking out right now if I haven\u2019t fought yet and made some money. So it\u2019s given me an opportunity to make money elsewhere. So it\u2019s definitely saved me during this. It\u2019s been good. I\u2019m enjoying it. I\u2019ve always been good about putting stuff online and with social media so it\u2019s allowed me to get on a more exclusive website where people can pay to see your content and actually make some money off it instead of putting stuff up on Instagram or Facebook and they reap all the benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rawlings hasn’t divulged how much money she makes per month on OnlyFans, but says it’s been a nice source of income for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m definitely not Bella Thorne level at all but I\u2019ve made some decent money,\u201d Rawlings said. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely been worth it, especially with the criticism that\u2019s come with it like \u2018oh this is what MMA has come to\u2019 like we\u2019re stooping to some level and it\u2019s not that at all. It\u2019s your choice what kind of content you put on your profile. I think people just naturally assume the worst.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course when they see other stuff on that kind of site, they assume that\u2019s what we\u2019re posting on there. It\u2019s definitely been worth it. I\u2019ve made some great money on there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rawlings is not the only MMA star to start an OnlyFans account. Several others, such as Jessica Penne, Claudia Gadelha and Cindy Dandois also have. Rawlings sees it as a great tool for fighters to leverage during these uncertain times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s cool to see other fighters and especially athletes embrace the site and hustle on something that we can,\u201d Rawlings said. \u201cWe can\u2019t tell the future and with the pandemic, we don\u2019t know when we\u2019re going to fight and so this is a way to set yourself up and have another source of income. It will be interesting to see what kind of content people are offering and if they stick around.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s definitely something everyone need to embrace. It\u2019s good for the sport, it\u2019s good for the fighters and it\u2019s good for the fans to have a different kind of contact and support for the fighters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bec Rawlings last fought at Bellator 240 in February when she defeated Elina Kallionidou by decision. Prior to that, she spent several years competing in bare knuckle fighting under the BKFC banner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
