Former UFC strawweight fighter Felice Herrig was forced to open an OnlyFans account to make ends meet after suffering an injury that kept her out of fighting for a while.
Herrig is currently retired and is out of the Octagon, following a streak of four consecutive losses, added to injuries, kept her away from the largest company in mixed martial arts, the UFC.
However, “Lil Bulldog” is now dedicated to posting content on her OnlyFans account as a source of income. Fighters are only paid when they fight, for this reason, Herrig had to find another way to get money, because those injuries did not allow her to return to the Octagon.
“It is very unfortunate to do something out of desperation, and I feel like that is what a lot of fighters would do for so long,” Herrig noted.
The 38-year-old, who is a former XFC, Bellator, and Invicta FC veteran, joined the UFC in 2015 and made her debut in a loss against Paige VanZant. She then racked up four victories, most notably against Alexa Grasso, but then suffered four back-to-back losses.
In her last fight, Herrig suffered a submission defeat against Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC Vegas 56 in June 2022, after which she announced her retirement from the sport with a record of 14 wins and 10 losses.
