While making adult-only content on OnlyFans seems to be going fine for MMA fighter Paige VanZant, the former UFC prospect turned BKFC fighter seems to be teasing fans about a possible return to the octagon sometime in the near future.

On her Instagram account, VanZant took time away from posting lewd photos of herself and actually shared some photos of a recent sparing session. It only took a matter of seconds for the comments section to begin filling up with questions as to whether this was just for fun, or whether she was warming up her fanbase for an upcoming fight announcement.
The “will she, won’t she” back and forth she’s laid out in the past regarding a potential return to the UFC has been the topic of debate for sometime. According to a recent piece posing this question from Marca.com:
The only reason Paige VanZant would actually return to the UFC is if she actually wanted that glory of a title. Money-wise, there is no reason for her to return given the already great income she is getting from all the other ventures she is involved with. She did have a few Bare Knuckle Boxing fights after signing a four-fight contract in 2020. However, losing the second fight in a row made her reevaluate her priorities and consider returning to MMA. Until she finishes her contract with BKFC, Paige VanZant remains tied to that promotion. Even at the promotion, they think Paige will never fight with them again but MMA is an entirely different story.

As of now, VanZant hasn’t said anything officially about her interest in returning.
Is it too far out to think that with her online following now, that her and marketing expert, UFC President Dana White, couldn’t find an arrangement to give her the money she would obviously demand to glove up in exchange for pay-per-views this could sell once you begin to take into account her dedicated fanbase?
In the era of lingerie weigh-ins, influencer boxers flashing the crowd, and more and more young people getting interested in the UFC and other fight promotions, everything seems to be on the table these days.
Let us know whether you think she’ll ever return to the UFC in the comments below and across social media.
