MMA beauty Paige VanZant became a millionaire after leaving UFC.
The UFC has seen a lot of controversy over the past few months from the boxers, revolving around the fact that they are underpaid by chairman Dana White for the economic benefits they bring to the world’s No. 1 MMA company. The boxers have invited each other to leave the organization to join other MMA companies, causing UFC to face a star crisis.
Among those who left was Paige VanZant, an American female boxer who not only had a pretty good record in her career (8 wins in 15 games) but was also a successful fighter because of her beautiful beauty. In addition to martial arts competitions, VanZant also works as a photo model and has appeared in a number of television shows.
Several months ago VanZant complained about her being underpaid by the UFC and possibly leaving the company. After losing to Amanda Ribas at UFC 251 months ago, VanZant officially left UFC and quickly found a company willing to treat her well.
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship specializes in the promotion of martial arts events and has welcomed many celebrities and even invited boxing legend Mike Tyson.
VanZant told MMA Fighting magazine that she just signed a million-dollar contract with BKFC and that she will have the chance to attend both MMA and boxing matches without losing her opportunity to model.
In the near future, she will be the cover face for the annual special issue of Sports Illustrated magazine, the American sports magazine famous for its annual bikini photos of beauty and sports models.
VanZant then continued to criticize the UFC for deliberately beating her when she learned she was about to leave. Despite losing to Ribas, VanZant still gained a lot of attention with her departure, because she had a followers of 2.7 million people on Instagram. And surely that large fan base will accompany her at BKFC again, a huge benefit for this two-year-old company.
