Felice Herrig once saw money as an ongoing issue when she recovered from a pair of knee surgeries that kept her sidelined for the better part of two years.
Fighters are only paid when they fight, so the veteran UFC fighter at the time understood the huge hit financially it was going to take on her. It was during the layoff that Herrig decided to explore another route to help supplement her income.
Herrig started her own OnlyFans page and it basically changed her life.
The newly-retired MMA fighter and current Bare Knuckle FC fighter recently spoke to TMZ and talked about the foot fetishes her fans have and how they are giving her financial freedom to do what she wants without having to rely on fights.
“But, some folks out there even want to possess some of her USED socks … which she’s shelling out for $150!!!
Pretty sweet gig, huh??
The money Herrig is making now has allowed her to fight whenever she wants … unlike how things were previously in her long career.
As for her new transition over to BKFC, Felice tells us it’s the perfect fit for what she’s truly passionate about in fighting — admitting her heart wasn’t in MMA.
“Now, it’s coming full-circle,” Herrig tells us. “I get to go back to doing what I love. And actually, boxing has always been my number one.”

Herrig joined fighters like Bec Rawlings, who raved about her ability to earn money through OnlyFans when she was stuck in Australia in the middle of the pandemic with no feasible way to make income from her fight career.
“I make ridiculous money on OnlyFans,” Herrig explained on The Fighter vs. The Writer. “Then again, it’s because it’s how hard I’ve worked to build a name and a brand and image, but it’s also nice because it allowed me to work on the recovery that I needed to do. Getting massages like twice a week. I haven’t talked about this extensively.
“OnlyFans made it where I’m not desperate to fight again. I actually make more money from that than I ever made in fighting — and I make good money fighting. But when you break it down to the fact that you only get paid when you fight, it does make things stressful on you when you’re not getting paid to sit on the sidelines, when you’re not being helped out.”
