Claressa Shields made her Twitter account private after ‘MMA Twitter’ trolled her. Boxing legend Claressa Shields shifted to MMA this year. She already fought and won on her PFL debut against Britney Elkins. Shields used her boxing skills to her advantage, knocking her opponent out in the third round.
Claressa Shields is off to a winning start in her MMA career. However, on October 25th, she recorded her first loss to the MMA community on Twitter. It all began with Shields tweeting out saying, “I’ll never understand why people can place bets on me & I don’t see any of that money. Kinda makes me think of taxes. I pay taxes because I work my a** off to make money just to pay taxes….. it’s all backwards to me”
Claressa Shields searched her name on twitter and attacked everyone who didn't agree with her.
Now she's private because she can't handle the backlash from attacking people over a dumb remark.

If they bet on you and you lose you don't chip in to cover it do you? Honestly, and I say this out of kindness, you might want to look into a career that doesn't involve getting hit in the head for a living.
