Paige VanZant is currently set to face Rachael Ostovich on the UFC’s debut on ESPN+ this January. It would mark her eighth UFC bout, which would already be a relatively high number considering that she is still just 24-years-old.
While she states that she plans to be in the MMA business for quite some time, VanZant did reiterate her desire to eventually join the WWE, as she met Stephanie McMahon during a tech summit in Portugal.
“I’m not ready to leave the UFC just yet. I love being a professional fighter and I still have a long career ahead of me,” she told MMA Weekly. “I also think the WWE is an amazing organization and it’s a very athletic entertainment industry which would suit me.
“There’s probably huge potential for a crossover down the line and of course I’m a big fan of what they do, so it would be great to be a part of. I got the opportunity to talk to Stephanie for a little bit on Tuesday which was great.”
At the start of the year, the UFC flyweight also stated that she would “for sure be a good WWE Diva” and would definitely take the opportunity if the pro-wrestling organization came calling.
Apart from fighting, the heavily promoted UFC fighter has also appeared in shows such as Dancing With the Stars and Chopped.
