Paige VanZant makes dancing debut on 'Dancing With The Stars'

Paige VanZant has some moves. And not just takedowns and submissions.

The fan-favorite UFC fighter became the the latest MMA fighter to appear on ABC's popular "Dancing With The Stars" program Monday night. She and partner Mark Ballas debuted on the 22^nd season of the show with a fox trot. Their team now is #PowRightInTheKisser.

VanZant, a former dancer, model and actress, earned a total score of 21 for the performance from the three judges. "12 Gauge" is actually one of the favorites to win the season due to her dancing background. VanZant, a member of the women's strawweight division, routinely posts videos of herself dancing on social media.

VanZant, 21, is coming off a fifth-round submission loss to Rose Namajunas in December. Before that, the Team Alpha Male product won her first three UFC fights. She has earned a sponsorship with Reebok and a strong fan following in her short time in the promotion.

After her dance, VanZant told interviewer Erin Andrews that she wanted to be an inspiration to women and show a different side of fighters.

Urijah Faber and manager Mike Roberts were in the audience Monday night to support her. The show airs live from Los Angeles.
