Former UFC star Paige VanZant has made quite a career for herself, and this past week she proved why.

After leaving The Octagon, VanZant has been a mainstay on social media — garnering over 3 Million followers on Instagram.

This week, she was trending once again after showing off with some pictures from the beach.

Paige VanZant also modeled in the latest edition of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit shoot.

“This is my way of not holding anything back. I want people to know that you don’t have to choose. You do not have to label yourself as one thing because that’s what surrounds you. I’m not scared anymore to show how girly I am. To go from an amazing UFC finish win in January, to shooting for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine in February could not be more of a dream come true,” she said of her decision.

Even though she’s no longer dominating the UFC game, Paige VanZant has carved out quite a career for herself.
