She can fight, she can dance, but can she manufacture some culinary magic?

UFC strawweight contender Paige VanZant has been announced as a contestant on "Chopped: Star Power," a celebrity edition of the wildly popular cooking competition.

The 22-year-old fighter will compete against three other athletes in the "Culinary Muscle" group, including Olympic champions Dorothy Hamill and Mariel Zagunis, and Pro Bowl running back LaMarr Woodley.

This will be VanZant's second major venture into reality TV land after a runner-up finish on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" competition in 2016.

VanZant's Chopped episode will air on the Food Network on April 4.
