Paige VanZant shares thong bikini photos after wrestling session

Paige VanZant certainly knows how to ignite a fire on Instagram.

On Tuesday, the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star — who recently made an All Elite Wrestling appearance — shared a collection of sultry photos with her 2.9 million followers after wrestling earlier in the day.

“Wrestled today, didn’t take a picture….. Here’s some pics of me looking like a h-e instead. Yolo,” VanZant captioned the images, which feature the 27-year-old athlete modeling a thong bikini.

Unsurprisingly, a slew of “fire” emojis immediately filled the comments section of VanZant’s post.

“You are effing 🔥,” one commenter wrote while another gushed, “Perfection, absolute perfection!!! 😍😍”

VanZant became an Instagram favorite during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when she and her husband, MMA fighter Austin Vanderford, would chronicle their naked escapades around the house. In a January 2021 interview with “Morning Kombat,” VanZant revealed the unexpected social media saga “wasn’t a planned thing at all.”

“It was quarantine, we stayed home for two weeks straight, it was kind of when this all first started,” she said at the time. “And we’re like, ‘All right, we’re not leaving out house,’ and, as husbands and wives do, we’re just naked and walking around our house, doing our thing.”

VanZant has lost her first two Bare Knuckle fights — to Britain Hart and former UFC rival Rachel Ostovich — and has hinted at interest in an MMA return in Bellator.

Although most fans can catch a glimpse of VanZant and Vanderford getting cozy on Instagram, the former UFC fighter now has another home for her exclusive content, PaigeFanZant.com, which she launched in February.

VanZant’s Instagram page also serves as a treasure trove of live-action videos and poolside pics.
