Paige VanZant Now Has A Rival: Judo Black Belt Holder Who Likes To Show Off Her Bikini Photos On Instagram

JAKARTA - Former UFC fighter VanZant (28 years) confirmed her switch to All Elite Wrestling last month. She signed a contract with the organization and will compete in AEW Dynamite.

Although her first opponent is yet to be confirmed, there is a high chance she could fight Brazilian wrestler, Tay Conti. However, the 26-year-old woman from Rio de Janeiro will not give up easily.

Not only is she a two-year AEW veteran, but she also has an impressive background in a wide variety of different sports - including judo.

Conti got her start in gymnastics, holding a black belt in judo, a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and even tried out for the Brazilian Olympic team at the 2016 Olympics.

She spent four years in WWE, becoming the first Brazilian to compete in Wrestlemania at the Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal in 2016.

The beautiful 5ft 6in mixed martial artist is active on social media and has over 611,000 followers on Instagram. She loves mixing her feed with photos from her AEW career and her bikini poses.

In a recent post, a drenched Conti posed in a leopard print bikini with the message: "Just in case no one told you today: you're great and you've had enough."

While further back in her feed, the sexy blonde flaunts her peachy bottom in another leopard bikini, but this time with a green trim.

Along with the snap, she wrote: "'All she did was show her ass'.... More to come hehehe, you guys just wait."

It looks like VanZant now has some serious rivals - both on Instagram and in the wrestling ring. However, the former UFC star is ready to take on her new rival whenever the opportunity arises.

"I knew something was there and she (Conti) wanted to fight me too," VanZant said last month. "I think they needed a new face and signed my contract soon after. I just saw that I came to do some drama and that made him (Cody Rhodes) leave AEW."

Talking about his decision to join AEW, VanZant said: "The more I got involved, the more I liked it and I realized that I was meant to be a part of the show. I came because I wanted to be a part of the show. I did it for free and I wanted to be a part of the event."

Conti, however, isn't concerned about VanZant's transition from UFC to AEW. After the blonde turned to wrestling, Conti wrote on Twitter: "She will be kicked out just like she did her whole fighting career."
