Many UFC fans might recognize the name Paige VanZant from her career as a fighter, but now she's making a name for herself elsewhere.
After launching an OnlyFans channel, she has taken to posting teaser content and revealing looks on social media.
In her latest post to her 3.3 million followers, she revealed a skimpy bikini in red and white with white fur around the edges, just in time for the holiday season.
"Santa baby, I've been good-ish, I swear!!" she wrote on social media as the caption for an Instagram post.
Making money from OnlyFans
Recently, VanZant has revealed that the change in career has been lucrative for her.
"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 told Barstool Sports.
"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."
VanZant's fighting career
VanZant made her professional MMA debut in 2012 and quickly rose through the ranks of the strawweight division.
She made her UFC debut in 2013 and quickly established herself as a popular fighter due to her striking ability and her attractiveness.
She won her first eight fights in the UFC, including a victory over Bec Rawlings in 2015 that earned Fight of the Night honors.
However, VanZant also faced criticism for her focus on her modeling career and her decision to take a break from fighting in 2016.
VanZant returned to the UFC in 2017 and moved up to the flyweight division, but lost four of her six fights in the division.
