UFC fighter Paige VanZant is shooting her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in Puerto Vallarta.  She was revealed earlier in the day on Thursday as one of the athletes set to appear in this year’s edition.

VanZant is doing her first Sports Illustrated photo shoot as she recovers from the second fracture in her arm in a little over a year.  This most recent injury forced her to pull out of her proposed fight with Poliana Botelho at UFC 236 on April 13.

We’re sure we will be seeing a lot more of VanZant, both inside and outside of the Octagon.  She has a bright future no matter what she decides to do.
