After finishing as a runner-up on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, Paige VanZant is ready to make her UFC return. In an interview with ESPN's SportsCenter, VanZant confirmed that she's set to fight "Rowdy" Bec Rawlings on August 27th, at UFC on FOX 21 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
VanZant (6-2) headlined a December UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas against Rose Namajunas, who dominated her and ultimately forced a 5th round rear-naked choke stoppage. It was the first loss of the 22-year-old's UFC career after starting off 3-0 inside the Octagon, with wins over Alex Chambers, Kailin Curran, and Felice Herrig.
