VanZant shared a series of sultry photos captioned simply, “Today,” letting the snaps speak for themselves.

The carousel kicked off with a mirror selfie showing the athlete posing in a tiny black bikini top paired with ultra-low denim shorts. Standing in what appeared to be a bathroom, VanZant showed off her sculpted abs and toned physique while snapping the photo on her phone.

Paige VanZant Has Built A Massive Following Beyond Fighting

While VanZant first rose to fame inside the octagon, she has spent recent years building a brand far beyond combat sports.

After becoming one of the UFC’s most recognizable personalities, VanZant transitioned into bare-knuckle boxing, professional wrestling appearances, and social media content, where she regularly gives fans a glimpse into her life, workouts, and glamorous photo shoots.

VanZant Says OnlyFans Became Her Biggest Payday

Her online presence has exploded in recent years, with the athlete now focusing on adult content. “I definitely have. I’d say when I made the switch to OnlyFans, there’s a lot of stuff I’ve done in my career and I’ve been really fortunate my career even outside of the UFC and outside of fighting has been pretty successful,” VanZant previously said.

She added, “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.”

Paige VanZant Previously Opened Up About Body Struggles And Dangerous Weight Cuts

Long before embracing confidence online, VanZant got candid about the physical toll fighting took on her body. In a past interview with the BBC, the former UFC star revealed she struggled with disordered eating while trying to make weight early in her MMA career. “I was having different issues with myself and my body,” VanZant admitted. “I was giving myself an eating disorder to make the weight.”

Although she said her body naturally felt best around 135 pounds, VanZant explained that she would push herself down to 115 pounds to compete in the UFC’s Strawweight division, often enduring intense dieting to hit the scale. But one frightening moment involving another fighter changed her perspective entirely.

VanZant recalled witnessing fellow UFC fighter Uriah Hall suffer a terrifying medical emergency while cutting weight before a fight. “I was at a fight where a fellow UFC fighter, Uriah Hall, was cutting weight and he pushed himself just to the brink of death,” she said. “He had kidney failure and started seizing in the hallway right in front of me. It’s because of that I’m like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’”

The experience ultimately pushed VanZant to move into the Flyweight division, which allowed her to compete at a healthier weight. “I recently went up to the Flyweight division, which is 10 lbs. heavier, which is a huge difference,” she shared at the time.

Despite the risks surrounding weight cutting in combat sports, VanZant said she never fully blamed the UFC, explaining that much of the pressure comes from athletes themselves. “It’s our decision to cut weight, it’s our decision to fight at those lower weight classes,” she said.
