PAIGE VANZANT was spotted sunbathing in her underwear on her balcony after she forget her bikinis for a Sports Illustrated shoot.
The American stunner is the first UFC fighter since Ronda Rousey in 2016 to be featured in the annual Swimsuit Issue.
VanZant has shared a number of saucy snaps from her Sports Illustrated shoot in Miami with her 2.1 million followers on Instagram.
And she left little to the imagination as she topped up her tan from the balcony of her hotel room.
The 25-year-old turned heads as she soaked up the sunshine in just a black bra and skimpy grey thong.
She later revealed on her Instagram live story that was she not able to wear a bikini because she had left them all at home.
Speaking to her followers, she said: “Ok, so I’m here in Miami for Sports Illustrated.
“And of course I didn’t pack a swimsuit because they only gave like 20 of them… and I didn’t pack one.
“So, I’m on my balcony trying to get a tan and I am in my underwear.
“And I know all of the balconies above me can probably see my butt, but it’s hard because my butt is in the magazine.
“So do I care now that a few balcony goers can see my butt? Or do I say that I don’t care as I just want to get tanned.”
VanZant, who is aiming to be back in the octagon by June after fracturing her arm, is proud to be featured in the iconic magazine.
She told SI Swim: “I was unbelievably shocked that SI Swimsuit called and asked if I would be apart of their magazine.
“I have constantly been having to prove to the world and UFC fans that you can be beautiful and a badass at the same time. Well, now it’s my moment to shine.”
