Paige VanZant is one of the most talented strawweights in mixed martial arts.
She also happens to be an attractive young woman who has an incredibly loyal fanbase due to her charming personality and dedication to social media.
VanZant regularly posts fight updates, training videos and other insights into the life of a UFC fighter to her Twitter feed.
But one post on the 23-year-old’s Twitter from Sunday caused quite a bit of a stir as VanZant showed off a new line of training gear from Reebok, the UFC’s official sports apparel partner.
VanZant filmed herself rolling around on a white rug, pulling up her shirt to reveal a sports bra and running her hand over her body before she encouraged her fans to follow the link in her Twitter bio to buy the clothes.
“For all my guy followers out there, I know you have a girl, a mother, a sister or a lady friend that could use some new Reebok workout clothes,” VanZant said.
The video received waves of abuse for its suggestive nature and VanZant quickly deleted it, replacing it with the below screenshot.

Twitter user Rob Youngs captured the video in full before it was deleted and VanZant’s fellow fighters ridiculed her for the provocative manner in which she decided to promote Reebok’s products.
