Having quickly become one of the hottest properties in the Octagon, Paige VanZant isn’t being rushed to the top of the UFC strawweight division, as witnessed by her next bout.
VanZant will face Alex Chambers at UFC 191 on Sept. 5 in Las Vegas. VanZant confirmed the bout via Twitter, following an initial report by MMASucka. UFC officials have yet to confirm the bout.
Initially too young to take part in the strawweght season of The Ultimate Fighter, Van Zant (5-1), now 21, stormed the Octagon with a TKO stoppage of Kailin Curran in her UFC debut.
