Bare knuckle boxer and AEW wrestler Paige VanZant proved herself a woman of many talents in 2022, and regularly delighting her legions of subscribers was just another of her feats in 2022
The hype surrounding former UFC star Paige VanZant grew to new heights over the course of 2022, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why.
Queen of combat VanZant went from sharing content via her own ᴀᴅuʟт subscription site to becoming one of the most searched names on OnlyFans. And ’12 Gauge’ managed all that while juggling careers as a Bare Knuckle FC boxer and AEW wrestler.
That diversity has also come across in her catalogue of uploads over the past 12 months, ranging from cowgirl costumes to see-through shoots. And Daily Star Sport has compiled a collection of the highlights as VanZant seeks to push boundaries once more in 2023.
1. Dangling by a thread
VanZant’s martial arts training means very few people are going to boss her around, though we think she might require the next size up. That was after one snap from September made it look as though her ʙικιɴι was going to give at any second.
The cowboy hat and black chaps really round out the whole ‘Western’ look as the blonde beauty beamed in what appeared to be her back yard. Only VanZant will know what she was smiling about at the time, but the pH๏τo has an eerie effect encouraging any viewer to return the favour.
2. Rear of the Year
It was around the time that VanZant announced she’d be joining OnlyFans that the former MMA prospect also happened to drop a particularly peachy picture of her derriere. That’s savvy marketing if ever there was.
Any pH๏τographer worth their salt will tell you angles are everything when it comes to capturing the perfect portrait. And the person behind the camera on this occasion certainly knew their stuff.

3. Leopard lingerie
Technically speaking, it’s a negligee, but it’s hard to tell when there’s so little material to begin with. What we know for certain is VanZant isn’t a fan of layers, not that many of her followers will be complaining.
Strutting her augmented ᴀssets for all her 3.2million Instagram followers to see, VanZant completed the look with a pair of chain-link ʙικιɴι ʙoттoмs. While the get-up may lose marks for consistency, she still gets the full 10/10 score for execution.
4. Back to black
A few years working in the ᴀᴅuʟт modelling industry means VanZant has really got the smouldering look under lock and key. And it’s all the more intimidating when you know the Brazilian jiu-jitsu purple belt could almost certainly beat you up if she pleased.
And frightening her followers appeared to be the aim with one November upload decked out in black leather lingerie, which she captioned: “Once a Gangster, always a Gangster.” One could debate the costume’s practicality in that sense, though the post undoubtedly had subscribers emptying their pockets.
5. One with nature
Another upload where it appeared as though VanZant’s cleavage could be uncovered at any moment, the Dancing With The Stars runner-up got in touch with nature in November. It was then that she told followers to ‘come to her jungle’, a prime example of why one must be cautious with their puns.
After all, fans might almost mistake such statements as innuendo, rather than an innocent invite to attend VanZant’s garden at her Florida residence. However, it’s strictly B.Y.O.O. (Bring Your Own Oil).
6. Pushing boundaries
Social media overlords will have been really pressed as to whether this post should have been permitted. However, for the sake of scientific research and the betterment of mankind, her almost transparent threads were deemed to be within the guidelines.
After all, VanZant is clearly helping humanity by stretching this leopard-print one-piece further than it’s ever been stretched before. Not to mention testing the limits of people everywhere and their ability to look away from the screen.
7. ‘Enjoy the show’
“Life’s a circus, enjoy the show,” VanZant tweeted in May after participating in a pH๏τoshoot inside an arcade. Given that sounded like an order, it would almost be rude to avert one’s eyes, so here we’ve been ever since.
Not to mention the fact it’s difficult to look away even if you try. The roller skates seem like they’d be restricting when the time comes for air hockey, though anyone unlucky enough to face VanZant would likely be too distracted for it to matter.
8. Get a room, you guys
VanZant isn’t the only MMA alumnus in her household, and Bellator fighter husband Austin Vanderford is a frequent fixture in her content. The 32-year-old gets the kind of access many of VanZant’s followers could only dream of and even (for some reason) turned down a recent request from his partner to join the ‘Mile High Club’.
‘The Gentleman’ proved his MMA moniker correct in July when he kindly hoisted a lingerie-clad VanZant aloft for one rainforest-themed shoot. While the PDA (public display of affection) may have verged on the indecent, it’s just nice to see the two lovebirds getting along.
