No octagon? No problem for Paige VanZant.
VanZant appeared for Dana White’s other company, Power Slap, the controversial martial arts promotion that grants opponents no-holds-barred strikes to each other’s faces, and muscled his way to a debut victory.
VanZant took four unprotected punches to the face from Christine Wolmarans, while the former UFC fighter’s opponent landed an additional punch in an attempt to even the score with her OnlyFans opponent.
VanZant’s first attack didn’t seem to faze Wolmarans. Her next two clearly did, causing her opponent to fall to one knee after a stumble in the second and third rounds.
VanZant showed no visible damage from Wolmarans’ punches. He challenged her by shaking her head after the first two punches and walked around to celebrate after the third.

VanZant’s move to Power Slap is her latest attempt to find success in a combat sport that isn’t the UFC.
The bantamweight fighter has not fought in the UFC since her July 2020 loss to Amanda Ribas in the first round.
VanZant has appeared for YouTuber KSI’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and MisFits Boxing promotion.
VanZant even ventured into professional wrestling with All Elite Wrestling in 2021 and 2022. During one memorable segment, she knocked out veteran wrestler Chris Jericho.
After a successful Power Slap debut, it appears the 30-year-old VanZant has found her next adventure in combat sports, although that’s not all she’s busy with these days.
She has a podcast with her husband and fellow MMA fighter Austin Vanderford and still creates content for OnlyFans.
VanZant revealed in February that she was offered $50,000 on her OnlyFans account to cut her hair and send it to one of her subscribers.
VanZant charges $9.99 per month for access to her OnlyFans account. Last September, VanZant said she was making more money with a day of OnlyFans than in her entire fighting career.
