Less than a month before her scheduled return to the Octagon, UFC flyweight contender Mariya Agapova revealed that she is facing imminent homelessness.
In a heartfelt social media story, “Demonslayer” opened up about her dire circumstances:
In a week, I’ll probably be homeless.
Are you surprised? Not me.
This is a classic of my life in America, becoming homeless right before a UFC fight.This is a f*cking classic!
Agapova explained what’s going on in more, increasingly disturbing, detail:
Next week I will be looking for a homeless shelter because I don’t trust people anymore.
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 sex slavery behind my back.
She then issued a call for help:
Who knows shelters, charitable organizations that are aimed at helping, not exploiting, please write to me.
Agapova is also nursing a knee injury…
That she cannot take care of until she gets the payday:
It’s still bad and I still need surgery.
So after my fight, I will do the surgery, but my life situation is very bad right now, that’s why I can’t go to surgery before this fight.I work [as a] bouncer right now at the club and no one gives a sh*t about me honestly.
After I got hurt and my sponsor didn’t want to sign with me, and I just get bouncer work and [I’m] working with [an] injury.
