MMA ace Paige VanZant has sent fans wild with sexy snaps after revealing the real reason her BKFC London fight was cancelled.
The former UFC star was due to clash with fellow MMA fighter Charis Sigala in the co-main event of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship's London debut on Saturday.
However, the fight was pulled earlier this week – with VanZant stating it was out of her control.
The 28-year-old had hoped to pick up her maiden win under the BKFC banner at Wembley Arena following a difficult start to life in the promotion.
VanZant said on Instagram: "I did not pull [out] from my fight!!!! I was pulled!
"I am p****d off and heartbroken.

"I worked my f***ing ass off to be pulled a week before I am supposed to compete."
In a later interview with MMA Fighting VanZant added: "I was frustrated with the way the whole situation was handled.
"They pulled me like three or four days before Austin’s fight. I don’t know if the timeline is important to anybody, but they pulled me.
"I will say they’re treating me really well and they’re compensating me for the situation.”

BKFC president Dave Feldman has also confirmed neither fighter pulled out and put the cancellation down to "logistical issues".
Feldman told MMA Fighting: "She 100 percent did not pull out of the fight – neither did Charisa.
"[We] had some problems here in the U.K. that I don’t really want to go into detail; I’m not trying to throw anyone under the bus.
"Had some issues here, and it was just better for me to move that women’s fights back to the states. It just wasn’t going to work here in the UK.
“It worked out, it is what it is. These things happen sometimes. I made it right with her and her team. I made it right with Charisa. I didn’t leave them hanging.
"I did everything I was supposed to do, and we’re going to have that fight later on the year, probably in the November timeframe.
“I’ll go on record saying Charisa and Paige wanted to fight, but we had to do it for the company. These things happen at times.
"If these things happen and we don’t make it right with the fighters, then we’re no good.
"If we make it right with the fighters, these things happen. This is the world we’re living in.”
VanZant inked a lucrative multi-fight deal with BKFC in the summer of 2020 after being released from the UFC.
But following the disappointing fight cancellation, the US-born beauty has sent fans wild with some racy snaps.
VanZant posed in a revealing body suit while wearing bunny ears.
One fan replied: "Just perfect."
Another said: "Possibly a playboy bunny."
