Paige VanZant's Latest Career Move Makes No Sense

Paige VanZant has decided to get her face jacked up for some unknown reason.

It was announced over the weekend that the former UFC fighter turned OnlyFans and Instagram sensation will make her Power Slap debut June 28th.

Yes, Paige VanZant is returning to work with Dana White, but instead of doing it in the cage, she'll be getting slapped in the face this time around.

Paige VanZant joins Power Slap.

This decision from VanZant makes no sense. Not even a little bit. Her fighting career has been a disaster ever since her time winded down in the UFC.

Let's look at how her fighting career has unfolded over the past several years:

  • 1-3 in her final four UFC fights.
  • 0-2 in the BKFC.
  • Fought Elle Brooke to a draw in a boxing match.
  • Has now joined Power Slap.

In what world does her continuing to fight make any sense at all? Remember, she's been open about her OnlyFans success.

She previously claimed she made more money in a single day on OnlyFans than during her entire UFC career, which puts the number north of $500,000.

Why does she want to get slapped around? In Power Slap, people literally stand there and get crushed in the face. Personally, it's not entertaining at all, but even if you do enjoy it, you can't deny Paige VanZant's money maker at this point is her ability to drop content on Instagram and OnlyFans.

How does getting slapped in the face help her get that job done? The answer is it doesn't, and it's a sad career development.

We'll see how it works out for her, but this is a mind-boggling decision from VanZant. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
