Paige VanZant is set to ply her craft to a new set of eyes.

The 21-year-old star announced on her official Twitter and Instagram accounts that she would take part in the 22nd season of “Dancing with the Stars”, partnering with two-time Mirrorball champion Mark Ballas.

Often displaying her graceful dance moves for UFC cameras, the 115-pound contender will follow in the footsteps of Octagon veterans Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture, who participated in past seasons of the popular ABC series.

There is no way her moves will compare to Jeff Monson on Russian Dancing with the Stars.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

She's so sexy. I don't get the hate.

Wtf is up with GOATonio's hair?

why did he move to Russia anyway? He cant even speak Russian and he's starring on their tv shows? They probably only know him as one of Fedor's victims.

No idea. I think maybe Putin treats him like a Czar because Monson doesn't like the US government.

Good thing she's taking her fighting career seriously.

After the assbeating Rose gave her, you'd think she'd be in a beginner's BJJ class instead of on a reality show.

 

[HwoarangStyle]

i'd slap it in her

 

[fbgn]

her face always gives me a bit of a retard vibe

As long as she beats Mischa Barton and Jodie Sweetin, the other two reasons for us to tunes in!

Yeah.. I dont think Putin even knows Monson.
He is prob too busy with Ukraine and Syria to care.

And if Putin ever saw Sylvia vs Monson... He would put Monson in Black Dolphin for wasting our time.

Hopefully this encourages more MMA fighters to cross over into reality tv;


Ronda Rousey in Biggest loser USA

Travis Browne on Cheaters

or Cops

Pat Barry on CBS' To Catch a Predator

Mrs and Mrs Fertitta and Mrs White on Mob Wives

Sage Northcutt on Jersey Shore


Other ideas?

 

[Jesus X]

GSP should compete

 

[Sycho Sid]

Jodie Sweetin's magnificent mammaries are the only two reasons I would watch this. That, and the chance to see Geraldo take a stiletto heel to the neck.

Hey look I got a job now

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

She's hard as hell to submit. I think she'll benefit more from some striking and wrestling classes.
