Age not holding back Paige VanZant after UFC Fight Night 57 win

BAD MMA News — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 16:34:01 +0000

Paige VanZant (This story appears in today’s edition of USA TODAY .) Paige VanZant says age has been her best friend and biggest enemy over the past year. The UFC introduced the women’s strawweight division (115 pounds) earlier this year and launched “The Ultimate Fighter 20″ to crown an inaugural champion. VanZant, 20, originally was announced as a cast member on the FOX Sports 1-broadcast show, but later was ruled ineligible because alcohol is allowed in the fighter house on the reality series. As a result, VanZant (4-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) had her first UFC appearance delayed to this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 57 event in Austin, Texas. With more than 200 UFC debuts this year, VanZant’s first octagon appearance was initially viewed as any other.

After five rounds contested largely on the mat, Edgar (18-4-1 MMA, 12-4-1 UFC) forced Cub Swanson (21-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) to submit in the main event of UFC Fight Night 57 in Austin, Texas, halting the featherweight contender’s march toward the title after six straight wins
