Former UFC star sells autographed kiss card for $13,200 on eBay

The sport of MMA and the UFC organization attracts a wide variety of fans from around the world. Mixed martial arts continues to grow in popularity, both in the combat sports realm and in the sports/entertainment sphere as a whole.

The UFC, which has long been the world's premier MMA organization, has produced many notable stars. This includes names such as Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, Israel Adesanya, and Jon Jones. Several such stars have proceeded to utilize their MMA popularity and transition to other dominions of the entertainment world.

One such star happens to be former UFC women's strawweight and flyweight fighter Paige VanZant. The 28-year-old American boasts a professional MMA record of 8 wins and 5 losses. VanZant's most recent MMA fight was a flyweight bout in the UFC.

'12 Gauge' faced Amanda Ribas in July 2020 and lost via first-round submission. While VanZant hasn't competed in the sport of MMA since then, she hasn't completely closed the door on a possible return to the sport. The Dancing with the Stars alum parted ways with the UFC after losing the aforementioned fight. VanZant then signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) and has competed in a pair of bare-knuckle boxing bouts thus far.

Additionally, she also dabbled in professional wrestling, became an author, and worked as a model. VanZant is also known for her incredibly successful career as a content creator on the subscription-based online platform OnlyFans. With respect to her modeling career, '12 Gauge' is believed to have a strong fan base. Some of her fans don't shy away from spending significant amounts of money on her products/services.

The "@mma_orbit" Twitter account has now tweeted that VanZant has sold an autographed kiss card for $13,200. The sale was made via the prominent American multinational e-commerce platform eBay. An excerpt from the tweet posted by mma_orbit read as follows:

"So former UFC fighter and current BKFC fighter Paige VanZant really just sold an autographed kiss card for $13,200 after receiving 102 bids for the product."

Former UFC star Paige VanZant given final warning over her future in BKFC

Paige VanZant suffered back-to-back losses in her bare-knuckle boxing career in the BKFC in 2021. She hasn't fought in the BKFC since July 2021. Besides, '12 Gauge' was booked to face Charisa Sigala at BKFC 27 on August 20, 2022. Nevertheless, their bout was postponed until October 15, 2022, and it ended up being canceled just a week before the event.

In an interview with Mirror Fighting earlier this year, BKFC President David Feldman suggested that Paige VanZant could fight at a high-profile BKFC event in April 2023. However, he warned that she may never compete in BKFC again if she fails to fight for the organization in April:

"I’m going to be talking to her this week and there’s a possibility that she returns on a big card we’ve got in April. If she doesn’t, then it’s probable that she won’t be coming back to BKFC."
