Ditcheva is not the first fighter to become popular because of her beauty. Former UFC fighters Paige VanZant and Rachel Ostovich allegedly made more money in OnlyFans than by fighting. VanZant even talked about it in a recent interview.

Her comments met the ire of Sean Strickland on social media. Strickland’s comments caught the attention of former UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko. Shevchenko and Strickland traded barbs on social media.
