Paige VanZant may just be 21-years-old, but she does seem destined for greatness if everything remains on track.

Standing just five feet four inches tall, VanZant has been wowing the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans with her skills, which have resulted in her being 3–0 since joining UFC strawweight division back in 2012.

Her last fight was a submission win over Alex Chambers using an armbar that drew some attention and eventual comparison between her and reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

Both are, of course, unlikely to end up clashing seeing that they are in different divisions. But such doesn't seem to matter for UFC president Dana White who has taken notice of what VanZant brings.

White considers VanZant a rock star and that it will only be a matter of time before the young strawweight fighter will eventually invade the ranks of the UFC's circle of popular fighters. That is if she isn't already one.

Aside from putting her pretty face on the line against other female gladiators, one cannot help but take notice of her gorgeous looks and fine physique. When not competing, she does seem like an innocent bystander but make no mistake about it, she is not someone you would want to tick off.

She has credited her fine form and fighting ability to her past as a competitive dancer. By now, everyone may have seen that video where she struts away and shows the flexibility she has which she claims are part of her secrets to carrying out quite a performance inside the Octagon.

Bringing together that talent with her good looks, it is not surprising why VanZant has captured the eye of some brand, Reebook to be precise. And as she continues to venture out into the wild, expect more companies following suit.
