Paige VanZant hasn’t ‘looked back’ on UFC tenure: ‘Everything has just gotten better’

Paige VanZant is too focused on her future with BKFC to reflect on her past with the UFC.

Most of her professional career was spent fighting under the UFC banner, where VanZant quickly became a household name for her performances inside of the Octagon and on Dancing On The Stars. Her wins over Kailin Curan, Felice Herrig and Bec Rawlings were just some of the highlights that made ’12 Gauge’ the must-see fighter that she is, but her time with the promotion was finite. After a six-year stint with the UFC, VanZant opted to test free agency and ended up signing a multi-fight deal with BKFC shortly after her departure.
