Following three surgeries to repair her broken arm, it’s understandable why Paige VanZant is nervous ahead of her next trip to the doctor’s office.
The 25-year-old UFC flyweight has already sacrificed 20 months of her career dealing with a broken arm that was first suffered in her fight against Jessica-Rose Clark back in January 2018. VanZant recovered from the initial injury and returned with a win this past January but then endured a setback that required her to go under the knife yet again.
Now almost exactly two months removed from her most recent surgery, VanZant is preparing to see her physician this week in hopes of gaining clearance so she can finally return to training.
