Paige VanZant once again surprised her fans by posting some daring shots. The former UFC star shared a video on social media that sparked her fans' imaginations.

Paige VanZant fought in 13 professional MMA matches and quickly gained star status in the UFC - one of the largest combat sports organizations in the world.

VanZant made her professional MMA debut in 2012. Her first opponent was Jordan Nicole Gaza, whom she defeated by the judges' decision. Just two years later, the American joined the UFC organization.

She fought against Rose Namajunas, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, and Rachael Ostovich. Her last match was in July 2020 against Amanda Ribas. Her record stands at 8 wins and 5 losses. She later tried bare-knuckle fighting but without success.

After ending her journey in combat sports, she quickly found a new, lucrative occupation. She became a star on an adult website where she sells her daring photos, among other things.

I’ve worked pretty hard in other industries and trying to cross over to more of a mainstream personality. But yes, OnlyFans has definitely been my largest source of income, I would say combined, in my fighting career. I think I’ve made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I did in my entire fighting career combined - admitted the American.

The former UFC star is also very active on Instagram, where she posts many spicy photos and videos. The latest one really stirred her fans' imaginations.

"As usual, super cool," "I withhold my comments because they would violate community standards," "You look phenomenal" - these are just some of the comments that appeared under her video.

Serious problems for VanZant

Not everything in VanZant's life went perfectly. Several months ago, a video titled "A Kickass Love Story - My Fight" appeared on YouTube, in which VanZant spoke about her mental health struggles after a lost fight.
