UFC flyweight Paige VanZant has wowed fans with her latest bikini offering before confirming she will be out of action for around three months to undergo surgery on her right arm.
MMA star VanZant – who owns an 8-4 pro record – set pulses racing when she posed for Sports Illustrateds annual swimsuit edition earlier this year.
She later explained she had made the modelling move because she could “only hide so much of her girliness.”
VanZant again put that "girliness" on display in an Instagram post to her 2.2 million followers over the weekend, in which she posed on the beach in a turquoise bikini.
“Im not medium hot, Im extra spicy,” the fighter captioned the pic.
But the fan-pleasing post was followed by less auspicious news on Monday, when VanZant confirmed that a fracture sustained in sparring would require surgery, ruling her out for around three months.
That would scupper her previous hopes of making an Octagon return in July, she told ESPN.
"I wanted to be on the UFC card on July 20 in Texas, but my chiropractor wanted me to get my arm checked out again before accepting a fight,” she said.
“I saw a surgeon who works with [NBA team] the Portland Trail Blazers, and he told me, 'Yes, you 100 percent need surgery.'”
It will be her third operation in the past 18 months, after two surgeries last yearRead More – Source
