UFC’s Paige VanZant to undergo second surgery to repair broken arm

The UFC women’s flyweight announced in an Instagram post on Tuesday that the surgery she underwent in January for a broken arm was unsuccessful. VanZant said despite the surgery, her arm has not healed at all since suffering the damage in a fight against Jessica-Rose Clark in January at UFC St. Louis.

“For whatever reason my bone still is totally broken in my arm and shows no sign of healing or progression,” VanZant wrote in the statement. “All that we can guess is that I went back to training too quickly and didn’t give my arm the proper time to heal without any motion.
