Mariya Agapova blames UFC for homelessness
UFC flyweight Mariya Agapova wrote on Instagram that she could be homeless in a week. She last fought at UFC Vegas 60 in September 2022 and has since failed to secure a fight contract.
She wrote that she doesn't have the money to pay for her rent, but she also cannot trust homeless shelters, as she has been exploited in the past by one or more establishments she had put her faith in.
"In a week, I'll probably be homeless. Are you surprised? But not me... Since I don't have money for rent, I live wherever I have to. People exploit me, and during this exploitation they neglect my personal boundaries and my life, including trying to sell me into s*x slavery behind my back."

"What a fight! Congratulations to @usykaa for winning the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the world! And huge props to @tysonfury for not just surviving the 9th round but coming back strong.
