Paige VanZant is Playboy Sweden's cover star for the magazine's December 2025 issue. The MMA fighter put her good looks on display while wearing a sheer green lingerie set and posing for photos in a kitchen.
"The collaboration everyone has been waiting for Playboy x Paige VanZant," the outlet captioned an Instagram post on December 2. "The global icon is back — and this time, she’s gracing the cover of Playboy Sweden with her most captivating shoot yet. Bold, confident, unstoppable… Paige brings the perfect blend of athletic power and timeless allure," the caption continued.
VanZant is not currently active in the UFC, though she does partake in a variety of other contact sports like Power Slap and Misfits Boxing. She was slated to make her highly anticipated return to MMA in 2025 and even signed a contract with the Global Fight League to do so, but a gnarly injury set her back; VanZant suffered spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma from a neck injury in June 2025.
"2026 will be a chapter of evolution," VanZant told Playboy Sweden. More creativity, more confidence, more unexpected moves. I’m stepping into a year where I’m not just participating in my life, I’m leading it boldly," she added.
In the meantime, VanZant keeps up a social media presence, often sharing sexy photos with her 3.1 million Instagram followers.
