Paige VanZant may never be the star she thought she would be in combat sports, but she doesn’t need to be now that she has found another avenue to make more money without the punishment to her face and body.
The former UFC star turned bare-knuckle boxer has made a fortune on the subscription platform, OnlyFans, in recent months with her latest upload turning heads to say the very least.
Her latest post has fans going crazy as she included her recording artist friend, who goes by the name Airwrecka, wrestling in a paddling pool while covered in oil.
The 29-year-old, who seemed to be on the rise in the UFC at one point, has since moved into bare-knuckle boxing.
Having lost her first two bouts by unanimous decision to Britain Hart and Rachael Ostovich, VanZant was due to fight in London before the match-up was scrapped. She was set for her third fight under BKFC in August 2022, but was forced out of the scheduled contest due to “logistical reasons.”
The bout would’ve been the last fight on her current contract with BKFC, although VanZant stated that she would hope to stay with the promotion in the future.

“I never thought I would sign with BKFC,” VanZant said on The Fighter vs. The Writer. “Bare-knuckle boxing, I never even knew they were on the table so I don’t know what’s going to come up and out of the woodwork while I’m a free agent again.
“I don’t see this being my last bare-knuckle boxing match. I love fighting for them. I like BKFC a lot. I think I want to continue having a future with them forever. I really don’t see this being my last one.”
Unfortunately, VanZant will now have to wait until a later date to compete again after her last fight took place back in July 2021.
VanZant, who signed a supposed multi-million dollar deal with BKFC in 2020, once claimed to be earning more with her social media posts than with fighting.
She may just stick with what is bringing in the dough.
