Paige VanZant, known for her skills in the fighting world, has recently made headlines with her participation in Dana White’s Power Slap league.
After leaving the Ultimate Fighting Championship, VanZant ventured into the world of bare-knuckle fighting at BKFC and impressed many with her performances.
However, her most recent move has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions within the fighting community.
On the 28th of June, 2024, Paige VanZant made her debut at Dana White’s Power Slap, where she secured a victory bonus with her powerful slaps. The former UFC star's performance caught the attention of many, but it was her post-fight decision that has left people talking.
Following her win at Power Slap 8, VanZant earned a victory bonus of $2,000 on top of her base salary. Surprisingly, she made a bold and unexpected choice with her earnings.
In a video shared by the organization on their YouTube channel on 15th July, VanZant revealed her plan to spend her entire paycheck at Dana White's after-party.
"I am so excited I’m gonna go gamble my whole paycheck. I have a feeling that Dana White's after party is going to be very, very fun," confessed '12 Gauge' in the footage.
VanZant's participation in Power Slap marked a significant moment in her career, as she emerged victorious over Christine Volmarans in her debut via unanimous decision.
Her formidable slapping technique stunned the audience and left her opponent struggling to keep up.
The first round saw VanZant's impressive display, while the second round witnessed Volmarans succumbing to the power of VanZant's slap, dropping to her knee.
The final blow in the third round sealed the victory for VanZant as Volmarans hit the ground, unable to withstand the force of the former mixed martial artist's slaps.
