"I think my value is significantly higher than what is currently valued. I want a salary increase. I see other stars who transfer from other organizations, such as American football, and that the UFC values them more," declared the blonde.
In addition to billing with social networks, VanZant was the protagonist of several photographic campaigns such as the one she did for the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2019 magazine.
He also made headlines after the publication of his biography "Rise: Surviving the fight of my life", in which he explained what his life was like before becoming an
MMA star and told a traumatic story that he starred in when he was barely 14 years old when he was victim of bullying and was sexually abused.
"I want to show them that I'm much more than just a star outside the cage... I'm very talented, I've just been unlucky with my arm due to injuries.

"I must analyze whether it is worth continuing to break my arm in fights and continue sacrificing myself in this sport," she concluded.
