In an interview for the Only Stans podcast, VanZant said, “I’ve worked pretty hard in other industries and trying to cross over to I guess more of a mainstream personality. But yes, Only F*ns has definitely been my largest source of income.“.

“I would say combined in my fighting career, I think I made more money in 24 hours on Only F*ns that I had in my entire fighting career combined. … And so that’s why it’s hard as a person…you know, [I] was nervous about the stigma, but now … it’s hard to walk away.“, added VanZant.
