Starling recently lost her unbeaten tag after a brutal title bout defeat to Christine Ferea at BKFC 28 in Albuquerque.
But it's away from the ring where the 5ft6 pocket-rocket - nicknamed Killa Bee - has been really turning heads.
Starling has followed in the footsteps of fellow BKFC star Paige VanZant and now has her own official fan site.
It gives fight supporters the chance to subscribe for exclusive content which might otherwise not make it through traditional social media filters.

VanZant has been testing the boundaries of Instagram in recent months, posting PDA photos with husband Austin Vanderford.
But Starling has criticized those who rebuke her for making extra money on the side of her fighting.
She told MMAFighting: "I always say to people, if you don’t pay my bills, and you don’t put food in my kids’ mouths, your opinion [doesn’t mean] s*** to me.
"Before my fan site, I was working a full-time job, and I had two part-time jobs where I would have to work on the weekends, and then somehow manage to find time to train in-between that.
"The fan site was not something I was super eager to do, but I knew I wanted to become a better fighter, be able to fully train, and give my all to fighting, so I thought, ‘Oh, man, I’m going to do it.’
"And thankfully I took that leap of faith."
Although racy snaps are part of her content, Starling believes that the fan site experience has made her far more accessible to her growing fanbase.

She continued: "People think that having a fan site is just selling naked pictures and stuff like that, but you can go on there and have a more personal conversation with your fans.
"It doesn’t always have to revolve around sexuality. There’s people who go on there that just enjoy my fight career that just want to say hey, and get a response back because Instagram and Facebook filters a lot.
“Some people just want to have a conversation and say, ‘Hey Taylor,’ or Paige VanZant, and this is for me to be able to fully give myself to fighting."

Starling has called her defeat to Ferea on August 27 the "harshest reality checks I’ve ever faced in my life".
But the bare-knuckle star is determined to rebuild and come back stronger after her first loss.
She told her 117k Instagram followers: " I’m gonna get back to work and come back even stronger.
"Even the greats have had their bad days. If you’ve shown me love this past week I appreciate you and love you.
"If you’ve shown me love and then turned around and talked s***, or shown me just pure hate.. it’s okay I still love you too."
