Former UFC star turned OnlyFans model Paige VanZant is going to make a lot of money doing Power Slap.
Back in 2016, VanZant was outspoken about not being happy with her UFC pay when she left the company as a free agent.

“I make way more money sitting at home, posting pictures on Instagram, than I do fighting,”. “When I did my contract negotiation the last time, the talk was, “I can’t pay you more than a female champion.’ Okay, but why are comparing me to just women? All of us should be getting paid more in general.”
Last week, the UFC shocked the MMA community when they announced that they had signed VanZant to do Power Slap at their upcoming event on June 28th.
While speaking to the media, VanZant confirmed that she was getting paid very well for Power Slap and has opened the door for her return to the UFC.
“I’m a businesswoman. I go where I need to capitalize…I have done extremely successful with my career in combat sports and with all my business investments and choices outside of it. This to me made sense”
“Leaving the UFC I was very open that I just had opportunities to make more money somewhere else, and that truly was it, I love the UFC and that’s the reason that I am back”
VanZant is set to make her Power Slap debut at the Fountainebleu in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 28th which will air live for free on the Rumble app.
