Could she go any lower? Paige Vanzant in talks with Powerslap
Former UFC star Paige Vanzant has reportedly signed with Power Slap, a new combat sports league that has garnered significant attention in recent months. This move comes as a surprise to many, as Vanzant had options to pursue further opportunities in boxing and the Bare Knuckle FC.
Vanzant, who competed in the UFC from 2014 to 2020, has been seeking a new challenge since her departure from the promotion. After signing with BKFC, she faced two decision losses against Rachael Ostovich and Britian Hart, followed by a draw against Elle Brooke in a boxing match with Misfits.
Despite the recent setbacks, Vanzant had expressed her desire to secure a rematch with Brooke, stating, âMy whole team thought we did enough, I think a lot of people did. The judging, a little bit nuts, but it looks like it sets up a perfect rematch. I just have to go on her turf and take her belt there.â
However, before the much-anticipated rematch can take place, BJ Penn reports, Vanzant has reportedly signed with Power Slap, a league that focuses on a unique form of combat known as âslap fighting.â This decision has raised eyebrows among her fans and the broader combat sports community.
The details surrounding Vanzantâs involvement with Power Slap, including the timing and nature of her debut, are yet to be revealed. It remains uncertain whether this will be a one-time appearance or if she will commit to multiple competitions within the league.
Vanzantâs professional MMA record stands at 8-5, and her recent struggles in BKFC and boxing have left some questioning the direction of her career. The move to Power Slap has the potential to either revitalize her competitive spirit or further diminish her standing in the combat sports landscape.
As the combat sports community eagerly awaits further developments, the question on everyoneâs mind is: âCould she go any lower?â Vanzantâs decision to join Power Slap has undoubtedly raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the future of her career.
Paige VanZant is back doing business with the UFC brass again
VanZant, 30, split with the UFC in August 2020. Her departure came after UFC CEO Dana White said she got âsmokedâ by Amanda Ribas and encouraged her to test free agency.
Weeks later, VanZant signed with BKFC. She went 0-2 in the promotion, before she made her traditional boxing debut in May when she drew with influencer-turned-boxer Elle Brooke. Since her UFC departure, VanZant has found lucrative success in the adult influencer industry with OnlyFans. In September, VanZant said she made more money on OnlyFans in a single day than she did her entire fighting career.
