EXCLUSIVE: MMA fighter Alice Ardelean has seven professional victories in mixed martial arts but despite edging closer to the UFC she actually makes more money outside of being a professional athlete
A fearless MMA fighter revealed she makes a lot more money outside of the cage.
Alice Ardelean funds her bruising career by getting her kit off on OnlyFans.
And the Birmingham-based athlete said she would be skint and unable to afford to train without racy modelling.

As such she is now famed by fans for having the “roundest and biggest bum in MMA”.
But while she relishes being recognised as an OnlyFans star, her ultimate goal is to compete in the UFC.
Her next bout is for the EFC world strawweight title on March 2 in South Africa – and a sixth win on the bounce could make her dream a reality.
In an exclusive chat, she explained why she risks her health as a professional mixed martial artist despite banking more money on OnlyFans.
She told the Daily Star: “That’s a really good question and I keep getting asked that a lot because I don’t need to fight now.
“If I would stop I wouldn’t be me. I would think ‘what am I doing with my life’ even though it is not ok to think like that.
“But it is a part of my life and I think I still have let’s say five more years of fighting because I am a woman or whatever. Maybe more, you never know, I feel ok physically.
“It’s just a part of me and that is what I have been doing for the last 12 years, fighting.
“I just want to get to the UFC and have a few fights. I don’t need to but it would be amazing, like a dream come true.”
Alice is originally from Romania but she now lives with her parents in Birmingham and competes out of Ronin MMA Gym.
She used to work in security before turning to OnlyFans to pay for her training.
The 30-year-old has been on a winning streak ever since – crediting the racy platform with giving her the freedom to train seven days a week.
Alice, who has more than two million TikTok followers, said: “I was really successful straight away and I got a lot of subscribers.
“Obviously I get a lot of hate because they say ‘where is your dignity’ but dignity does not pay bills.
“Where is the dignity in working 8-5 all your life until you die? Where is the dignity in that? But some people are just close minded.”
In a previous interview she revealed how her parents were accepting of her saucy side hustle.
And because of her popularity on the platform, she has earned enough cash to help others.
She said: “We have a lot of stray dogs in Romania. There are a lot of shelters so I always donate now.
“I don’t donate money because I don’t trust people but I literally go there myself, buy food, millions of bags of dog food and stuff like that.
“I take them there personally. That’s what I do when I’m home.”
And she hopes the next time she travels home, she will have joined the likes of Molly McCann, Paddy Pimblett and her former teammate and world champion Leon Edwards in becoming a UFC rostered combatant.
She said: “That would mean a lot to reach the UFC. For every fighter this is their dream.
“Before OnlyFans I couldn’t afford to train properly but now I do four to six sessions every day and even one training session on Sunday.
“I am really close and I won’t stop now.”
