Maryna Moroz has made history by becoming the first UFC star to sign a deal with men’s lifestyle magazine Playboy

Moroz has been fighting in the UFC since 2015 after she signed a deal to join following an appearance at the XFC International 7 just a year prior. Her UFC career had some ups and down but she is currently on a three-fight win streak.

“Playboy is super big for me,” Moroz said. “It changed everything in my life, and now I am different. I am a different person.”

Moroz initially took to her social media pages on Monday to share the exciting news

“Happy to announce that I’ll be the first UFC Fighter on Playboy Centerfold!” she exclaimed. “Can’t wait to partner up with such an iconic brand with clothing, activations, and now the platform that has all my exclusive content.” The Playboy Centerfold Instagram account teased what fans can expect from Moroz, sharing a sexy snap of the fighter modeling a blue thong.

Many UFC fighters have jobs and contracts on the side to maximize their income including UFC stars Tecia Torres and Raquel Pennington who are using the subscription service OnlyFans to fund their wedding. She recently submitted Mariya Agapova earlier this year and is now eyeing a continued rise to the top of the division

My life is like a train, my pictures, rest, food, and that’s it, says UFC star Moroz

Although Moroz is stepping into a new arena, she reminded the combat world that fighting will always be her main priority.

“My life is like a train, my pictures, rest, food, and that’s it,” Moroz said. “Super big fight for me, and I’m ready for it because I work hard and focus is always in training. I love my job!”

Moroz fights Maia (19-9) on November 19 in Vegas. Apart from her career in mixed martial arts, Moroz also serves as the coach of the Ukrainian women’s boxing team
