Valentina Shevchenko is still dominating the MMA sphere even at 35. She is proud of the glittering eight rubies on her flyweight belt that made her place concrete among the Mt. Rushmore of fighters in MMA. But does that stop her from achieving more goals and ticking off her bucket list? No! ‘Bullet’ is soaring high and venturing into new territory. What is the new venture? Well, the champ launched her OnlyFans account recently! The platform is a big hit among the MMA fighters with many like Cindy Dandois and Hannah “24K” Goldy.
She posted a sparring practice video on Instagram where she captioned it, “Welcome. @onlyfans .” This came both as a pleasant surprise and shocker for her long-time fans who admire her for her amazing career resume. OnlyFans has built quite a reputation for being an adult content website over the years but there are creators who use the platform to post lifestyle content as well.

Many fighters and celebrities also use it for sponsorships and advertisements as well. Shevchenko has decided to expand her brand and is looking to share some exclusive footage with her fans on this website. What makes this platform exclusive is that fans have to pay to access premium content, thereby opening opportunities for the flyweight star to earn more from subscriptions, apart from her sponsorships.
However, this sudden update from the flyweight queen garnered mixed reactions from longtime fans. Let’s see what they had to say.

While combat sports athletes tend to use the platform to advertise their training footage or different fitness products not every athlete keeps it pg. Both Paige VanZant and Jessica Andrade have used the platform to post adult content. Perhaps this is the reason why some fans were apprehensive about Valentina Shevchenko joining OF. A fan expressed their disdain with one word, “Disappointing.”
In a similar vein, more comments poured in like, “Baby no don’t make an OF”, and, “Not you too champ.” One fan came to the champion’s defense and clarified that the platform isn’t exclusively for posting adult content. They said, “It’s shocking how many people don’t realize 90% of MMA fighters use OF to show behind-the-scenes training footage.”
One user didn’t hold back with their scathing reply and targeted the website as well, saying, “Can’t wait for this company using athletes to change their image to cope with their real product – legalized pimping – to crash and burn.” One user pointed said that while they understood Shevchenko’s position with regards to starting her OF account, she was still a role model at the end of the day, “I understand it’s just a sponsor, but remember you are Valentina “The Bullet” Shevchenko: a role model for girls.”

Would any kid and girl want his source of inspiration to be [an] OF? No, never. So please if you have traveled so well till now, then travel further also well.”
