According to SI.com:
Paige is actually no stranger to being in front of the camera. Before she began professionally fighting, she was pursuing a career as a model and an actress. It wasn't until she decided to take a MMA gym class that her passion for competitive fighting truly began.
After taking some time off due to injury, Paige's year started off strong with a UFC win against Rachael Ostovich. That marked her eighth victory in the Women's Flyweight division and her first win since getting back in the cage.
Something tells us things are just heating for this champ! We are beyond ready to watch Paige knock out every shot in Puerto Vallarta!
VanZant has a 8-4 MMA record accoring to her UFC bio.
