The popular UFC flyweight announced Tuesday on social media that she requires a second surgery on her broken right arm after her first procedure “failed.” VanZant speculated that she may have returned to training too soon and didn’t give her right arm “the proper time to heal without any motion.” Her second surgery, which VanZant described as “more serious,” is scheduled for July.
VanZant, 24, broke her arm in the opening round of her UFC St. Louis fight against Jessica-Rose Clark in January. “PVZ” went on to lose the bout via unanimous decision, her third loss over her last four fights.
