Paige VanZant could be putting on hold her modelling career as it is reported that she has agreed to return to combat sports in the latter part of this year.
Since her days in the octagon, ’12 Gauge has been a favorite among fans. VanZant beat veteran Bec Rawlings as well as Felice Herrig in her prime years at the UFC. The strawweight, despite losing the fight, was able to share the cage and compete with Rose Namajunas.
DAZN, according to reports has accidentally revealed Paige VanZant’s first foray into boxing. VanZant is reportedly going to face social media influencer Elle Brooke at Misfits 15, the main event, on May 25.

Paige VanZant is not competing in mixed martial arts in any way since she lost back-to-back in BKFC nearly three years ago.
She had two unanimous decisions go against her, against Britain Hart and Rachael Osovich. It was a disappointing start to her career in bare-knuckle fighting. She has only won one of her six previous fights.
