Well, if the fight against Botelho goes down in April as being speculated, VanZant wouldn’t have gotten a long break at all, but that shouldn’t surprise anybody. (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Sexiest Paige VanZant Photos On The Internet)
She seems incredibly hungry to get back in the octagon.
VanZant had a rough couple years after appearing to be on a course to become the face of the women’s side of the UFC.
She fought through injuries and suffered some brutal losses. Now, she’s appears to be full-steam ahead on jumping back to the top of the UFC, and we’re here for it.
Go, Paige, go!
