Former UFC star Paige VanZant holds the highest following on a subscription-based service like OnlyFans or FanTime ahead of Renee Gracie and Madelene Wright.
The 27-year-old MMA star suffered defeat to Amanda Ribas at UFC 251 in July 2020 before her exit from Dana White’s MMA promotion.
VanZant would later sign a lucrative four-fight exclusive deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, but her career in bare-knuckle boxing has failed to take off.
The American lost her hotly anticipated debut BKFC fight against Britain Hart in February 2021 before suffering defeat to Rachael Ostovich in July.
VanZant boasts a huge following on social media, with the MMA and bare-knuckle fighter amassing 3m followers on Instagram alone.
According to The Daily Star, 12 Gauge is the sports athlete who has the most likes on services like OnlyFans or FanTime.
VanZant runs her own website, PaigeFanZant, via FanTime and has a whopping 1.2m likes at the time of writing.
The BKFC star offers three different subscription sign-ups for her FanTime page, with fans charged at $9.99 (£7.50) per month to unlock her steamy content.
VanZant’s 1.2m FanTime following dwarfed Gracie’s 462,900 likes on OnlyFans, a platform famously associated with its adult content.
Gracie made the shock decision to end her career as a racing driver and transition into an adult film actress, with the Aussie building a mega following on OnlyFans.
The 27-year-old Australian star, who has failed in her bid to return to the sport, ranked second for sports athletes with the most likes on OnlyFans or FanTime.
Wright made headlines in 2020 after she was sacked by Charlton Athletic for Snapchat videos allegedly showing her inhaling balloons at a party and drinking champagne while at the wheel of her Range Rover.
The former Charlton player has built a huge following on Instagram as an influencer and amassed 15,300 likes on her OnlyFans page, with Wright charging a staggering $33 subscription fee.
