UFC star Paige VanZant terrifies a lot of fans with gruesome Instagram update

Very, very graphic

UFC star Paige VanZant’s left foot ain’t pretty no more.

We don’t have long to wait before seeing Paige VanZant in arguably the most exciting new female division the UFC has added since introducing women’s bantamweight in 2012.

The undersized bantamweights (135 lbs) and the strawweights (115 lbs) who find it tough cutting so much weight will have a new home in the world’s largest MMA promotion when the women’s flyweight division (125 lbs) is established.

VanZant (7-3, 4-2 UFC) is rumoured to make her UFC flyweight debut against Jessica Eye (11-6-1NC, 1-5-1NC UFC) in October, but one of her recent Instagram posts has caused concern among fight fans.

’12 Gauge’ posted a gut-churning image of a deep gash on her left foot that is one of the most hideous things you will ever see. However, it is uncertain whether or not her caption of “well damn” signifies that it is a legitimate injury or not.

Either way, anyone perusing VanZant’s Instagram account looking to see an onslaught of selfies was instead surprised by this gruesome photo.

Fans may be sceptical over the update, mainly because it hasn’t been that long since folks were duped by a nasty injury update on Instagram by a UFC fighter.may be special effects

In early 2017, fan favourite Donald Cerrone caused some worry by uploading a video of a disgusting eye injury which turned out to be special effects makeup for a Netflix show.
