MMA fighter Vanessa Demopoulos on her journey from stripper to UFC strawweight contender, and recalls choking out punters who refused to pay

UFC star Vanessa Demopoulos used her MMA skills to choke out unruly customers during her days as a stripper.

“When I turned 18, I started dancing as a stripper, as a pole dancer, and then someone saw me in the club and said, ‘If you put that same skill that you put towards pole dancing into fighting, you might do something with it.’ “They would try to run off on me without paying me or something and didn’t know they were messing with the wrong chick. They’d end up waking up and politely giving me my money.
