WWE NXT Champion Stephanie Vaquer Steps into the Octagon with UFC Fighters

Stephanie Vaquer isn’t just dominating in the WWE Performance Center—she’s now stepping into the Octagon.

The current face of the NXT women’s division made a surprise stop at the UFC Performance Institute in Mexico City this week, ahead of UFC’s upcoming card in the same city. The double champ didn’t just show up—she made herself right at home. In a photos and videos posted to social media, Vaquer can be seen standing next to fellow Chilean MMA fighter Ignacio “La Jaula” Bahamondes, looking ready to throw down if needed.

Vaquer even got into the cage to demonstrate her finisher for fighters in attendance. And while it’s all part of the crossover show of strength between MMA and wrestling, Vaquer looked right at home under the bright lights of the UFC’s training facility.

Her visit adds even more momentum to her rising profile. Since defeating Giulia at NXT Roadblock to become a double champion, Vaquer has firmly planted her flag as the top woman in NXT. But not everyone is thrilled with the attention.

Still, Vaquer isn’t sweating the controversy. She’s letting her performance—and now, her UFC crossover training—speak for itself.
