Porn star Kendra Lust champions female fighters like Paige VanZant, angers UFC Wags and was linked with James Rodriguez
ADULT film star Kendra Lust lives a busy life - from championing female fighters to angering UFC Wags and being romantically linked to footie star James Rodriguez.
She is famous for her work in porn but in recent years has become more involved in sport, and in particular is a huge fight fan.
Lust has been public in her support for female fighters in recent years, including former UFC stars like Paige VanZant.
The 28-year-old, now fighting in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), paid tribute to Lust in November as it was announced the porn star was joining her in a partnership to help her fight career.
VanZant said : "I'm so excited to announce my partnership with Kendra Lust and Lust Army.
"She's a huge combat sports fan, she's an icon for women and female empowerment. Which is everything that I stand for.

"She's amazing and I'm so pumped to have her a part of my journey, a part of my team and on my way to the top.
"Thanks Kendra, I love you. Lust Army!"
VanZant, who also has an OnlyFans, also garnered praise from Lust after her latest photoshoot.
The combat ace showed racy images of herself floating on a chair in a swimming pool earlier this week.

Lust was out in support as she responded to the photo with heart and fire emojis.
She also sponsors Tai Emery, who shot to fame last year after knocking out her opponent in her BKFC debut before flashing the crowd in celebration.
The viral stunt saw Emery end up in hot water with the BKFC president, but she did gain a huge influx of subscribers on her OnlyFans.
Lust also announced a partnership with boxer Ebanie Bridges in the past year, with the Australian fighter also once flashing her chest in an unlikely setting.
But the porn legend's attempts to get more involved with combat sport have not always gone to plan.
Lust famously clashed with MMA star Mike Perry's girlfriend after she tried to gain access to his fight corner.
The 31-year-old offered fans the chance to bid for a place in his corner before a fight with Robbie Lawler back in 2020.
English fighter Darren Till bid $5,000 and claimed he was "deadly serious".
Lust responded that she would pay $6,000 and even cover Till's expenses so they could both attend.
But Perry's girlfriend swiftly shut down the idea and responded on Twitter: "definitely not".
The exchange caught a bit of attention but it would not be the only time Lust found herself in the middle of some online excitement.
Later in 2020 football fans went wild after an unexpected comment to James Rodriguez.
The Colombian, then playing for Everton, was reported on Twitter by TalkSport as struggling with a "testicle injury".
Responding to the tweet, Lust said: "Ouch! Hope you're ok"
She also tweeted the ex-Real Madrid man Happy Birthday, once again amusing fans confused by what their relationship was.

The pair began following each other on social media back in 2018.
Lust has long been in the porn industry and is reported to have a net worth of $3million.
