Strawweight fighter Paige VanZant is down to the last fight in her contract. And at this point in her career, the 26-year-old fighter is looking to test the waters outside the UFC.
As she heads into free agency, “12 Gauge” feels she has a lot of leverage to wield.
“There hasn’t been that many big free agents. There’s literally, like, a handful,” VanZant told ESPN’s Ariel Helwani. “Like, huge free agents to leave the UFC, and I do, I consider myself one of those. I maybe had a rocky last two years with breaking my arm so many times, but it’ll be a big deal, I’ll be coming off two wins, and I feel really good to test the waters.
