Former UFC star Cindy Dandois has launched an Only Fans account to raise money to re-open her gym which was shut during lockdown.

The Belgian, who signed with the UFC in 2017, says she has been left with "big financial problems" due to the coronavirus pandemic. She has also fought in Bellator.

Dandoes posted on Twitter: "I lost my gym during this Covid-lockdown, no help from our government and fights cancelled,... leaving me with big financial problems.

"I decided to make an Only Fans so I can collect the money to re-open the gym and give the youngsters their home back."
