UFC strawweight Paige VanZant secures publishing deal to release first book

According to Damon Martin of FOX Sports, 22-year-old UFC strawweight Paige VanZant has signed a deal with Hachette Book Group to publish her first book.

VanZant, who made her professional MMA debut in 2012, will tell her story of how she got involved with mixed martial arts and quickly became one of the most notable female stars in the sport.

“It’s a memoir. Obviously, people learned a little bit about my past and my story and I really haven’t told it all and it’s something I feel like I wouldn’t be able to say out loud so a book is the perfect way,” VanZant told FOX Sports last year.
