This is some Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs shit.
Not content at beating seventy shades of shite out of trained killers for our entertainment, the modern day gladiators of the UFC are beginning to use their bodies to hawk some sportswear.
It all started with Dancing with the Stars entrant and UFC youngster Paige VanZant, who received a lot of backlash for her seductive advertisement for Reebok’s apparel. For those of you who are unaware, Reebok have a highly controversial deal with the UFC which makes it mandatory for every fighter on the roster to sport their attire at every event related to the promotion.
Knowing that some stars are more marketable than others, they’ve snapped up a few of the bigger draws on separate endorsement deals to get more bang for their buck, VanZant is one of the fighters on one of these individual contracts.
You can check out her ad, which she has since deleted in the video embedded below.

Anything ’12 Gauge’ can do, the ‘All American’ can do… sexier? No, that’s not quite right.
Moving swiftly on, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman uploaded a spectacular parody of the controversial video made by the popular strawweight.
His effort is… well, words fail to describe it. Here it is in all its glory.

Vanzant has seen the video and as a good comapny woman, she didn’t pass up the opportunity to plug the gear again with her response.
