Rising women’s MMA fighter Paige VanZant reportedly will next climb into the Octagon at the end of summer in one of the featured bouts of UFC 191.

The popular 21-year old officially confirmed on her Twitter page that she is slated to fight Alex Chambers on Sept. 5 in Las Vegas. News of her battle was originally reported by MMASucka.com, though UFC officials have yet to officially announce the bout.

VanZant burst into the UFC with a third-round TKO of Kailin Curran last November after not being allowed onto the cast of “The Ultimate Fighter” due to being only 20 at the time.
