Darling of the UFC Paige VanZant has got fans' hearts racing again with videos of her dancing in her bra on Instagram.

VanZant, who has risen to fame for her good-looks and fan-friendly fighting style, showed off her moves to Justin Timberlake's notorious hit 'SexyBack' as she prepares to headline her first event for the UFC in December.

In the three videos '12 Gauge' contrasts ballet with boxing, pirouetting before launching a lightning-fast barrage of kicks and punches into thin air.

The 21-year-old has previously credited her 25-hour-a-week dance regiment as a teenager for her flexibility and stamina which have played a crucial role in catapulting her to No 6 in the UFC strawweight rankings.

VanZant, who has won all three of her fights since entering the UFC, is set to face Scotland's Joanne Calderwood in Las Vegas on December 10.

The fight headlines a Thursday night card on arguably the biggest UFC weekend of the year, with Irish superstar Conor McGregor and pound-for-pound No 1 Jose Aldo fighting for the UFC featherweight strap two days later at the MGM Grand.

Speaking to MMAJunkie, VanZant said that she just wants to fight, no matter when and where.

'They offered me the fight, and I didn't care what card it was on.'

'I didn't care if I was the first fight on (UFC) Fight Pass. It doesn't matter to me. I'm ready to fight and I'm ready for Joanne.

'The fight made sense for me. I'm ready for this match-up.

'Just the fact that I get to be on such an amazing fight weekend and being the headliner are just bonuses for me.'
