Paige VanZant is one of the most memorable female fighters of her generation.

Although she never gets quite the credit she deserves for her stint in the UFC, the blonde bombshell was on a legitimately impressive run from 2014 to 2016. During that two-year stretch, VanZant went 5-1 against some of the biggest names in the division.

In fact, her only loss over the course of that period was to future two-time champ Rose Namajunas, either the division’s GOAT or second-best fighter ever.

This week, VanZant found herself in the headlines once more – only not for her fighting prowess. Rather, it was for her unfortunate tattoo.

It all began when VanZant posted this video online:

The reactions largely spoke for themselves:

Yikes.

While her tattoo obviously wasn’t a fan favorite, VanZant clearly remains one. She boasts 3.2 million followers on Instagram alone and routinely goes viral.

Whether she is publishing her provocative photos, racy shower snaps or very revealing videos – VanZant has little trouble setting the internet ablaze with any content she puts out.

Plus, there are also just her general Instagram posts:

Although she isn’t in the UFC anymore or a full-time fighter the way she used to be, VanZant’s place in the larger sports and entertainment cultural zeitgeist is set in stone.

She’s a star.

What will she ultimately go viral for next?

Time will tell.
