Paige VanZant transitions from the octagon to online sensation

Paige VanZant fought in 13 professional MMA bouts 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 was signed with the UFC.

She fought against Rose Namajunas, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, and Rachael Ostovich. Her last bout was in July 2020 against Amanda Ribas. Her record is 8 wins and 5 losses. Later, she tried her hand at bare-knuckle fighting, but without success.

After ending her combat sports journey, 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, posting many spicy photos and videos. The latest of them strongly fired up the imagination of her fans.

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

Not everything in VanZant's life has gone perfectly. A few months ago, a film titled "A Kickass Love Story - My Fight" appeared on YouTube, in which VanZant talked about her mental health issues after a lost fight.
