MMA star Leah McCourt shares creepy requests she gets online from 'hundreds of weirdos'

Leah McCourt has shared details of some creepy online messages she has received where people have offered money in exchange for pictures of her feet or even to receive her used socks.

Fresh off her unanimous decision win over Dayana Silva at Bellator 285 in front of a fervent home crowd, she appeared on the Whiskey and White podcast which is hosted by boxers Tommy McCarthy and Tyrone McKenna.

They discussed a host of topics such as how weight cutting is tougher for women due to their anatomy as well as pre-fight nerves.

She also indicated her next bout will be in February with Dublin again looking like the venue.

Then at one stage the conversation took a stranger turn when she was asked if she is subjected to any weird messages like so many other women are, especially those with any kind of public profile.

She said: "I get loads of messages saying 'Can I pay you, can I send you money on my Paypal?"

The 29-year-old then took out her phone and cycled through countless messages before reading out a select few.

She continued: "There's literally just hundreds and hundreds of weirdos. Then some of them send videos but I've never opened any of them.

"There's so many mental people. You start to realise how many people are off their head.

"Look at this one, he wants to send me money...'I'll even buy photos of your dirty socks goddess. I'll buy feet pics right now. Can I be your pay-pig?

"'I'll buy your used socks. You should make me a wishlist for Piggy to buy you things.'

"'Use me like a human ATM. Put payment amount and I'll send it goddess.'"
