Champions League streaker who stopped Liverpool final is now training for UFC
Kinsey Wolanski, the Champions League streaker who infamously interrupted the Liverpool vs Tottenham final in 2019, has started training with UFC.
The 27 year-old blonde bombshell was propelled into the limelight and international fame - also earning her a small fortune - when she streaked during the Reds' 2-0 win in Madrid.
"None of them spoke English and I was only wearing my swimsuit and a hospital gown one of the security men had made me wear when I was taken off the pitch, so I was a little bit uncomfortable, but it was all part of the experience," she confessed at the time.
"I confided in the Liverpool fans around me what I was about to do and at first they all said, 'Are you joking? ' But when they realised I was serious they thought it was a brilliant idea. One of them even took my phone and said he would record it for me."
Kinsey has dabbled in various ventures since, including modelling for Sports Illustrated and Maxim. And now, her latest has led her to the UFC.
She recently kicked off a series titled Pro Athletes Unfiltered where she trains with a professional athlete who demonstrates what it takes to excel in their respective sport in each episode. She's showed off her baseball and American Football skills already.
And now Kinsey has been being trained by UFC Bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt and his team in the octagon, with footage showing her throwing hooks and learning takedown techniques.
Of course, she's not going to be taking on any of the serious contenders in any of the UFC's women's divisions any time soon - and probably not ever. But given the size of her social media following, she's got half a shot at stepping into the Octagon one day if it'll prove profitable.
Jokingly, Garbrandt claimed "she's won" following an impressive demonstration of a choke hold by Kinsey.
Fans were quick to react, one quipping: "Imagine getting tackled by Kinsey,". Another offered: "You can drive me to the mat anytime! " with a third conceding: "There's no way I could be professional at that moment not with her."
And another chimed in: "Bro living his best life!"
