4:09 PM EDT, July 2, 2024
Paige VanZant had 13 professional fights in MMA and quickly gained star status in the UFC, one of the largest fighting sports organizations in the world. Now, she has made her debut in slap fighting with the Power Slap organization.
Paige VanZant debuted in professional MMA in 2012. Her first opponent was Jordan Nicole Gaza, whom she defeated by decision of the judges. Just two years later, the American fighter was signed by the UFC.
She fought against notable fighters such as Rose Namajunas, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, and Rachael Ostovich. Her last fight was in July 2020 against Amanda Ribas. Her record stands at 8 wins and 5 losses. She later tried her hand at bare-knuckle fighting, though without success.
After ending her journey with fighting sports, she quickly found a new, lucrative occupation. She became a star on one of the adult sites, where she sells, among other things, her daring photos.
An adult site is definitely my biggest source of income. I would say that within a day I made more than in my entire sports career, admitted the American.
