Paige VanZant makes stunning career change as she signs up for Dana White’s POWER SLAP… and her debut fight is next week
Former UFC star Paige VanZant will make her slapfight debut next week as the fighter ventures into her latest career.
VanZant, who last fought in UFC in 2020, has recently made headlines by starting an OnlyFans account, entering the ring for AEW and also fighting in a Misfits boxing match in May.
Now the 30-year-old will join the UFC-owned PowerSlap. video shared by the company’s YouTube page.
The clip showed VanZant hitting a dummy during training, and also revealed that she will fight South Africa’s Christine Wolmarans.
VanZant and Wolmarans will compete on Friday, June 28 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Power Slap was founded in 2022 by UFC chief Dana White and has seen impressive growth since then.
The YouTube page has 2.6 million subscribers, and White said last year on the Rock Sugar Magic podcast that nine months later the company was already a $450 million company.
“Everyone thought I was stuffed at first,” White said.
“But if you take the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, WWE, NASCAR, Formula One, PGA and a few others that I can’t remember, you combine all their social media numbers together and multiply it with four, Power Slap beats them,” he claimed.
VanZant, meanwhile, fought fellow OnlyFans model Elle Brooke in Houston last month, with the fight ruled a draw.
The 29-year-old spent six years in UFC before being released by the company in 2020
After leaving the UFC in 2020, she started her OnlyFans account, which she claims is extremely lucrative.
She even said she made more money in 24 hours showing off her figure on OnlyFans than she did in her entire fighting career.
She charges fans $9.99 a month to see the revealing photos she posts.
VanZant also only competed in one match for AEW, at Double or Nothing 2022.
