Pic: White House petition filed against UFC strawweight Paige VanZant

Earlier this year, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) strawweight contender Paige VanZant promised her Twitter followers she would shave her head to support cancer research.

Rumors are true:) I will be shaving my head for charity!!!! Dates aren't set yet but I am ready to do something to give back. Stay tuned!!!
