Former UFC Star Paige VanZant Signs with GFL: MMA Fans Sound Off on the Fresh Move with Mixed Reactions

Paige VanZant is returning to the world of mixed martial arts and fight fans aren’t quite sure how to feel about it.

Recently, it was reported that ’12 Gauge’ will once again strap on the four-ounce gloves, this time for the Global Fight League, a well-funded organization that has been gobbling up talent on the free agent market over the last several months in preparation for a 2025 launch.

In addition to VanZant, the GFL has also signed other notable female free agents like Bi Nguyen, Kayla Hracho, Pannie Kianzad, Hannah Goldy, and Mao Ding.
