Ex-UFC star Paige VanZant confirms free agency following postponing of GFL debut fight

Former UFC flyweight and strawweight contender, Paige VanZant has confirmed she has entered free agency once more, after her planned debut outing with the GFL (Global Fight League) against Randi Field in May was postponed indefinitely.

VanZant, an alum of the UFC, has featured prominently with the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) as well as Power Slap since her exit from the Dana White-led promotion back in 2020.
