We’ve seen X-ray images of broken bones, cuts pouring forth blood and all manner of graphic images that make professional fighting what it is.
But Paige VanZant perhaps set a new bar with her most recent Instagram post, which contained pictures of her forearm flayed out mid-surgery as she attempts to fix a problematic injury for good.
Chop chop!! All this and still itching for more😝 #UFC #surgery #pvzstrong
WARNING: IT’S GRAPHIC
The post had under 9,000 likes just seven minutes after it went live. VanZant’s cheeriness wasn’t shared by all of her followers, some of whom wondered why there wasn’t a warning attached, which, not incidentally, Instagram community guidelines require (and remove offenders for explicit content).
Recently, VanZant took to Instagram to announce a new blog for her followers, asking for recommendations on what fans wanted to see of her and her husband, Bellator fighter Austin Vanderford.
Now, she’s giving them all access – for better or for worse.
