Former UFC star Paige VanZant is set to make her slap fighting debut next week as the fighter dives into her latest career venture.
VanZant, who last fought in UFC in 2020, has more recently made headlines by starting an OnlyFans account, taking the ring for AEW and also fighting in a Misfits boxing match in May.
Now, the 30-year-old is set to join the ranks of UFC-owned PowerSlap, as per a video shared by the company’s YouTube page.
The clip showed VanZant slapping a dummy in training, and also revealed that she’ll be fighting South African Christine Wolmarans.
VanZant and Wolmarans will be fighting on Friday, June 28 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Power Slap was founded in 2022 by UFC chief Dana White and has seen some impressive growth since.
Its YouTube page has 2.6million subscribers, and White said last year on the Rock Sugar Magic podcast that the company was already a $450million business nine months in.
“Everybody thought I was full of s*** in the beginning,’ White said.
“But, if you take the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, WWE, NASCAR, Formula One, PGA and a couple others I can’t remember, you combine all their social media numbers together and multiply it by four, Power Slap beats them,’ he claimed.
VanZant meanwhile, fought fellow OnlyFans model Elle Brooke last month in Houston, with the bout being ruled a draw.
The 29-year spent six years in UFC before being released by the company in 2020
After departing from UFC in 2020, she started her OnlyFans account, which she has claimed to be extremely lucrative.
In fact, she said she made more money in 24 hours by boasting her figure on OnlyFans than she did in her entire fighting career.
She charges fans $9.99 per month to see the revealing photos she posts.
VanZant also participated in just one match for AEW, at Double or Nothing 2022.
