Paige VanZant was a mess. After the first round, she looked up at the big screen and observed her face covered in blood. It didn't jar her at all. In fact, she let out a tiny crease of a smile.
"I think it's awesome," VanZant told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I don't know. I thought it was awesome. I was just looking to see how bad the cut was or where it was, because I wasn't really sure. I saw it was under my eye, so it was good to go for the next five rounds or four rounds.
