\n Paige VanZant has a million new reasons to do poolside backflips.<\/p>\n

Days after agreeing to a four-fight contract with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, worth more than $1 million, the former UFC star sat down Tuesday for her introductory press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been in talks ever since I was a free agent. This is kind of where I felt the most passionate about, and it completely lined up with what I wanted and what they wanted and we were really able to create a happ<\/a>y partnership,\u201d VanZant said. \u201cIt\u2019s a win-win for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of her July loss to Amanda Ribas in UFC 251, the 26-year-old VanZant opened up wanting to test fighting free agency after gripes that she made more during her 2016 stint on \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d than she had in her UFC career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel like a regular extension isn\u2019t what I want, and I want to prove my worth and my value \u2014 and I want a brand-new contract,\u201d VanZant told ESPN at the time.<\/p>\n

Already looking forward to her first Bare Knuckles matchup, VanZant also addressed what the organizational shift means to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I feel like it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to open that next chapter, and it\u2019s not necessarily a move backwards for me, it\u2019s a move laterally, it\u2019s a whole new obstacle,\u201d the explained.<\/p>\n

Currently settling into her new Coconut Creek, Florida, surroundings with husband Austin Vanderford, VanZant added how she\u2019s also thought about her future beyond the ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommentating was already something we had spoken about, and that\u2019s something I hope they open up the opportunity for me to do, and I just feel like I have a lot of talent outside of just fighting,\u201d VanZant said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m very good at multi-tasking\u2026 I want to utilize the other skills that I have and that is TV, and camera work and I\u2019m excited to do that, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

With over 2.7 million Instagram followers and counting, VanZant and Vanderford \u2014 a fellow MMA fighter \u2014 have kept fans entertained throughout the pandemic, thanks in part to their nude shoots around the house. Earlier this month, VanZant switched her content up by showing off her agility at the pool in bold bikinis.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
