VanZant made almost $500,000 in her cage-fighting career but said last year she makes more money through Instagram. “All of us should be paid more in general, especially women and especially based on your star power,” she said.

6 of her 9 most popular Instagram photos last year were of her posing in swim-wear, but she recently started wearing even less than that, posting numerous nude photos taken while doing mundane exercises and chores around the house during a spell at home because of the coronavirus.

VanZant is not the first athlete from the UFC to pose naked, and she likely won't be the last. It is a clear trend amongst mixed martial artists. Jessica Andrade stripped down for a photo with her recently-won UFC championship in May, last year.

On an Instagram story, she said: "I'm trying to get through all your text messages and replying to everyone. I'm having a lot of fun chatting to you - minus the three d--- pics. Not happy." Read more:
