Paige VanZant smiles in bikini as she enjoys day out after BKFC defeat

Paige VanZant was not letting her defeat to Rachael Ostovich get her down in the dumps as the former UFC star smiled in a bikini.

VanZant was beaten by Ostovich in her second Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship bout, losing on points on Friday night.

VanZant was left with horrific swollen hands following the bout, showing off her injuries on social media.

And while many fighters would be left licking their wounds after a painful defeat, VanZant made sure she enjoyed herself.

She posted a picture on her Instagram story of herself and husband Austin Vanderford having a joyful day out.

Wearing matching hats, both are in beachwear with VanZant in a skimpy bikini while Austin wears yellow shorts.

Both are smiling to the camera with VanZant captioning the image: "Life good. Smile more."

VanZant had showed off her swollen hands as she flipped the bird on social media, while sending a message to her haters.

"Guess what b*tches???!! I’m still smiling!!!” VanZant wrote on Instagram accompanied with a series of photos from after her fight.

"My story is full of setbacks, road blocks and detours. But, it is also filled with major comebacks, peace in my soul and a grace that saved my life. I promise you this, I would endure this pain everyday of my life over the pain of regret.

"I am going to keep chasing my dream one step at a time. 99.9% of the people on Earth would not dare do what I do.

"This story will be even better than my first. And if you haven’t read my book before click the link in my bio.

"That is real pain. This is just a bad chapter. And to anyone out there struggling. Pain is only for a moment. The world may be dark and love to hate on you, but darkness does not drive out darkness only light can do that. So DO NOT STOP SHINING!!!!"
