Paige Vanzant Shares Bikini Carousel in Today Instagram Post
paige vanzant posted a new bikini carousel on Instagram on the caption "Today." The set leaned on mirror selfies, beachside snaps, and a tiny black bikini top with ultra-low denim shorts. It also kept her public image centered on a career that now runs well beyond fighting.

The carousel included a close-up selfie, a beachside angle, and one shot of VanZant sticking out her tongue while wearing sunglasses. That mix is the point: she is not posting as a retired fighter making occasional appearances, but as someone using social media as a core part of her profile.
Fans filled the comments section with praise after the post went live. For a creator whose name once traveled through the UFC, that reaction is part of the value proposition now — attention that can be translated across posts, subscriptions, and paid content.
From UFC to OnlyFans
VanZant first rose to fame inside the octagon before moving into bare-knuckle boxing, professional wrestling appearances, and social media content. In recent years, she has focused on adult content, and she has said switching to OnlyFans became her largest source of income.
She put that shift in blunt financial terms: "I think I’ve made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I did in my entire fighting career combined." She also said, "I definitely have. I’d say when I made the switch to OnlyFans, there’s a lot of stuff I’ve done in my career and I’ve been really fortunate my career even outside of the UFC and outside of fighting has been pretty successful" and, "I’ve worked pretty hard in other industries and trying to cross over to more of a mainstream personality. But yes, OnlyFans has definitely been my largest source of income, I would say combined, in my fighting career. I think I’ve made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I did in my entire fighting career combined."
That income shift sits against a sharper backstory. VanZant previously said she struggled with disordered eating while trying to make weight early in her MMA career, adding, "I was giving myself an eating disorder to make the weight." She said her body naturally felt best around 135 pounds, while she pushed herself down to 115 pounds to compete in the UFC’s Strawweight division.
135 Pounds and 115 Pounds
Those numbers help explain why this latest carousel lands as more than a routine post. The same athlete who once described the pressure of 115 pounds is now presenting a version of herself built around control, visibility, and direct monetization, not just competition results.
Uriah Hall enters that story only as part of the broader fight-world context VanZant has described before, after she recalled witnessing him suffer a medical emergency while cutting weight before a fight. For readers following her career rather than her feed, the practical takeaway is simple: her Instagram now functions as a storefront, and this carousel is another signal that the online business remains the bigger part of her public brand.
