– Paige VanZant appeared on last night’s episode of UFC Tonight, discussing Saturday’s fight with Michelle Waterson…
VanZant on Waterson calling her ‘green’: “Yeah, I feel like everyone knows that. I am. But I’ve been able to beat opponents my first day in the gym who have already been belt holders. I’m breaking records. There’s something special that Sage Northcutt and I have, we’re evolving with the sport because we’re so young.”
VanZant on where she’ll fight Waterson: “Anywhere the fight goes. I need to make this fight my own. She’s very tough and talented. It’ll be a huge win and I’m excited for it.”
VanZant on teammate and mentor Urijah Faber being on the card: “It’s huge to be fighting on the card with him. He’s really developed me as a fighter and been a contributor in my career. It’s a big deal for me. It’s the best way for him to go out with fighters who he’s developed on the card.”
VanZant on if she has other projects like “Dancing with the Stars” coming in 2017: “I don’t have any going on right now. I’m 100 percent focused on fighting.”
