On Monday’s Disney Week of Dancing With The Stars, Paige VanZant tied for first place with her quickstep to a Toy Story song.
If you’re a fan of mixed martial arts — which all of you likely are — and more specifically a fan of UFC women’s strawweight contender Paige VanZant, you probably already know she’s a current contestant on this year’s season of Dancing With The Stars. And if you didn’t, now you do.
Monday’s episode marked Disney Week and all the dancers had to perform something Disney-related. VanZant and her partner, Mark Ballas, danced the quickstep to “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” from Toy Story. Check out the full performance above.
VanZant and Ballas received high praise from the judges once again, including the guest judge, popular singer and actress Zendaya. They tied for first place on the night with a very high score of 36/40.
VanZant, who has a dancing background, is one of the favorites to win this season of Dancing With The Stars.
VanZant made her Octagon debut in 2014 and picked up three-straight victories including two stoppages. However, in her last outing she was dominated by top contender Rose Namajunas and submitted in the fifth round of their UFC Fight Night 80 main event.
Dancing With The Stars airs live on Monday nights at 8pm ET/5pm PT on ABC.
