Paige Vanzant returns to competition with power slap debut
Paige VanZant had 13 professional fights in MMA and quickly gained star status in the UFC, one of the largest fighting sports organizations in the world. Now, she has made her debut in slap fighting in the Power Slap organization.
Paige VanZant debuted in professional MMA in 2012. Her first opponent was Jordan Nicole Gaza, whom she defeated by a judge's decision. Just two years later, the American was signed by the UFC.
She fought with Rose Namajunas, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, and Rachael Ostovich. Her last fight was in July 2020 against Amanda Ribas. Her record is 8 wins and 5 losses. She later tried bare-knuckle fighting but without success.
After ending her journey with fighting sports, she quickly found a new, lucrative occupation. She became a star on one of the adult sites, where she sells her daring photos, among other things.
An adult site is definitely my biggest source of income. I would say that within a day I made more than in my entire sports career — admitted the American.
The former UFC star shocks. She returned to sports
Paige VanZant decided to return to sports. The American was seen on Friday at 8 PM ET at the Power Slap event organized at the Fontainebleau Hotel & Casino. VanZant's opponent was Christine Wolmarans.
I’ve gone from the UFC to bareknuckle boxing to boxing to Power Slap, I’ve done pro wrestling. I just want to compete. I had an absolutely incredible time doing this. I think that they’re gonna want me back absolutely, so I do see a future here. I just want to compete, and I want to live my life and have fun, show off how tough I am — she emphasizes.
VanZant won the fight against Wolmarans by decision of the judges after three rounds of open-hand slapping each other in the face.
