Before she signed up to be on "Dancing With the Stars", UFC strawweight prospect Paige VanZant had ambitiously stated that she wanted to win the ABC reality dance competition, then make her return to fighting at UFC 200. As she continues to rack up impressive scores on the show, plans for the 22-year-old to compete on the big July 9th pay-per-view have been shelved.
VanZant's manager, Mike Roberts, confirmed that the time she's spent on "DWTS" is the reason for the postponement of her target date to return. (Via MMA Fighting)
"After thinking about it, the show is taking up a lot of her time," Roberts said.
