Paige VanZant will be featured in the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition magazine.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition’s Instagram page made the news official by posting a pair of videos from VanZant’s photoshoot in Mexico. Check them out along with some quotes from the starlet here (via MMA Mania):
“I feel like when you’re in Sports Illustrated, that means you made it, so it’s a really big deal,” VanZant said.
“I’m mostly excited for people to see this side of me, I think people do forget that yes, I’m a professional fighter, my hair is cornrowed all the time, I punch people in the face for a living, but you can look really cute, too.”

She also won the celebrity-themed version of the ‘Chopped’ cooking series in 2017. Last year, “PVZ” released her autobiorgraph ‘Rise: Surviving the Fight of My Life’.
She returned to fight this past January, defeating Rachael Ostovich by way of second-round submission.
