Paige VanZant’s Provocative Instagram Photos Go Viral
Paige VanZant carved out a special niche for herself within the MMA community during her seven-year stint in the UFC.
Despite being heralded more so for her looks than her fighting acumen, VanZant was actually a very legit fighter. Between November 2014 and August 2016 she went 5-1, with her lone defeat coming to arguable strawweight division GOAT Rose Namajunas.
While VanZant’s career never quite recovered after that loss, she still earned a strong place in the hearts and minds of MMA fans everywhere.
VanZant left the UFC in 2020, eventually signing a contract with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
Over the years, VanZant has built up a sizeable following for herself on Instagram. She boasts 3.1 million followers on the platform, and any time she publishes anything, it immediately goes viral.
Case in point, this week’s posts:

Whether she is posting about her special way of helping her husband get over losses, or her sex tape, or posing provocatively wearing nothing but whipped cream – VanZant has little trouble consistently breaking the internet.
And that’s to say nothing of just her general Instagram posts:

For better or worse, VanZant has become a permanent fixture in the larger MMA sports cultural zeitgeist.
Any time she does something, it’s frontpage news.

And as her profile continues to grow both on social media and beyond, that’s unlikely to change any time soon.
What will VanZant ultimately go viral for next?
Time will tell.
