Ronda Rousey backed by Valentina Shevchenko’s flyweight rival after viral OnlyFans insult

Ronda Rousey has been making a ton of noise ahead of her highly anticipated comeback.

The legend went on an epic rant about the UFC during a press conference promotion for her May 16 fight with Gina Carano.

UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko caught a stray when Ronda Rousey ranted about fighter pay.

Why Maycee Barber sides with Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey caused uproar by accusing Valentina Shevchenko of selling explicit images of herself.

“It used to be that the UFC was the best place that you could come in combat sports to make a living and be paid fairly. Now, it’s one of the worst places to go,” the former UFC bantamweight champion said earlier this month.

“It’s why so many of their top athletes are going to find pay elsewhere. It’s why their champions, like Valentina, are selling pictures of their t–ties on OnlyFans.”

Shevchenko referenced Rousey’s 48-second KO loss to Amanda Nunes when replying to the accusation.

“It’s 2026. Fighters using OnlyFans is just a new way to connect with fans,” she wrote on X. “Looks like Ronda slept too long after her last fight in 2016.”

Just as the dust settles, flyweight contender Maycee Barber has shared her thoughts on the feud.

“Ronda Rousey is the reason why Valentina gets to fight in the UFC,” she told MMA Fighting.

“And Valentina’s lack of personality is the reason why Valentina has an OnlyFans.”
