Ex-UFC star Paige VanZant unsure of MMA return: ‘It would be hard for me to go back’

Former UFC strawweight and flyweight contender, Paige VanZant has failed to completely rule out a return to mixed martial arts competition in the future — claiming it would be “hard” for her to enter a cage again, listing the slew of arm injuries she has suffered during competition.

VanZant, who is still currently signed to the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship), will make her sophomore appearance next week in Power Slap, taking on Christine Volmarans back in June, and earning a unanimous decision win in controversial circumstances.
