Paige VanZant, a fighter in the UFC’s women’s straw weight division, recently appeared on LIVE with Kelly where she discussed a wide range of topics from bullying to her time on Dancing with the Stars and even got around to demonstrating some MMA moves.

In this YouTube clip from the show, we first see Paige go over some punching techniques with host Kelly Ripa while co-host Neil Patrick Harris holds the mitts. She attempts to show Kelly how to throw a basic one two (jab cross) combination but Kelly doesn’t appear very coachable as she doesn’t listen to Paige’s instructions and just throws a bunch of sloppy looking punches at Neil in an attempt at humor. Paige is very nice though so she just says “That was great,” before moving on to the next technique.

The next technique they go over is a front kick which they are throwing at Neil’s chest protector. Paige goes first and lands a decent kick, with shoes on none the less which knocks Neil back a little bit. Kelly says “He’s spitting up blood, is that normal?” which is actually quite funny.

After the kicks they go to the mat to work on some grappling where Paige demonstrates some leg locks from the 50/50 position. She puts Neil in an ankle lock but he forgets to tap out so Paige has to tap for him, despite previously explaining to him what to do.

All in all though a pretty fun segment and Paige came off looking good.
