Paige VanZant Rules Out Fight With Ronda Rousey

PR

Before the two fighters lost, there was talk of a possible fight between Paige VanZant and Ronda Rousey. At the time, the two girls were the hottest stars in the UFC as you had a young prospect winning big fights in VanZant and Rousey dominating the women’s bantamweight division. VanZant lost to Rose Namajunas at UFC Fight Night 80, and Rousey lost to Holly Holm at UFC 193 and those talks have died down until now.

VanZant was in LA with a friend and TMZ caught up with her and asked her about moving from 115 to 135 to fight Rousey.

“It’s not even a possibility,” PVZ told TMZ.

VanZant (6-2) lost her first UFC bout in her last fight, tapping out to a Rose Namajunas after a brutal beating at last year’s UFC Fight Night 80. Prior to the loss, she famously rose to the position of one the UFC’s fastest rising hype trains by defeating Kailin Curran, Felice Herrig, Alex Chambers in under a year.

Rousey (12-1) famously dominated the UFC women’s bantamweight division since its inception, winning six straight bouts by finish before she  lost to Holly Holm at UFC 193 by second round knockout.

VanZant is currently competing on Dancing with the Stars that airs on ABC and is eyeing a return to the Octagon after the show wraps. On the other hand, Rousey is scheduled to fight Miesha Tate later this year , possibly in November.
