Paige VanZant Posts Sexy Reebok Video, Then Deletes

00

UFC strawweight Paige VanZant posted a sexy Reebok ad, but quickly deleted it after receiving backlash from her MMA peers.

VanZant, one of the few non-UFC champions to ink an individual sponsorship deal with Reebok, recorded an awkward selfie video pushing Reebok’s new “Black and White” collection. She may have thought it was a good idea at the time, but must have glanced at her notifications because the video was subsequently scrubbed from her Twitter timeline.

However, as we all know in this fine day and age of Internet dominance, nothing is ever REALLY deleted:

Here’s what some of VanZant’s fellow fighters thought of the risqué video:

@DjLeeTTU @irishbaggie @AngieOverkill IMO a vid that looks like shes selling a dildo isn't best way to hit the glass ceiling, but if u like jerking off to it more power to ya

VanZant then replaced the awkward video with this pic to push the Black and White collection:

From Reebok’s perspective, no publicity is bad publicity. VanZant also got the attention she was desperately seeking.

VanZant has been submitted in two of her past three fights. More jiu jitsu training and less selfie videos!
