Paige VanZant sends fans into frenzy with teasing near-nude lingerie pics as ex-UFC star awaits bare-knuckle opponent
PAIGE VANZANT has laid it all bare as she opens up about losing her opening two BKFC fights.
The former MMA fighter, 28, is hard in training ahead of headlining the bare-knuckle card on June 16 at Alexandra Palace.
With an opponent still to be confirmed, VanZant is looking for her first ever BKFC victory after crashing to back-to-back defeats.
And she’s been brutally honest that things haven’t got to plan since signing a four-fight deal with the organisation in August 2020.
VanZant uploaded a set of very revealing lingerie snaps on her Instagram as speculation continues to swirl over her potential next opponent.
She captioned the stunning posts: “Oh baby, it’s a wild world”.

Paige is taking positives from her first two defeats and is keen to show the bare-knuckle world what she can offer going forward.
She told MMA Fighting: “I can say, looking back at my last two fights, I was never dominated, I was never in a position where I was uncomfortable.
“I can pride myself knowing that I have got better and better and my boxing continuously is getting better.
“I’ve had some very close, tough, hard-fought fights with some very talented women.
“I’m excited to go out there and do that again.”
‘ I WAS NEVER DOMINATED’
Losing doesn’t come naturally to VanZant, who left the UFC with a winning record of 8-5.
And she’s determined to turn things around on June 16 in London.
VanZant continued: “One thing I can find peace in is that, for me, losing has never gotten easier – it just gets harder and harder.
“I know how much my heart is still in this and my mind. I just put a lot of pressure on myself. It’s the same thing that I’ll be doing in this next fight.
“I’m going to go out there and do everything I can to get the victory.”

As well as the BKFC, Paige is set to take the wrestling world by storm after signing with AEW in March.
She’s been tipped to be a huge success by current TNT champ Scorpio Sky.
While Paige stunned fans earlier this week by taking to the shooting range wearing just a lace corset and stiletto high heels.
VanZant is married to fellow MMA star Austin Vanderford and stunned in yellow crop-top as she mocked his Peloton efforts on Monday.
