The officials over at Ultimate Fighting Championship found a mega star in Paige VanZant when they signed her in December 2013. After just one fight inside the octagon, the strawweight inked a deal with Reebok to be one of the few fighters independently sponsored by the athletic apparel company.
It wasn’t long before VanZant headlined her first-ever event in 2015 opposite of “Thug” Rose Namajunas at “UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. VanZant”. Before she knew it, VanZant was a celebrity overnight as her fight career progressed.
VanZant took some time away from the octagon to show off her moves on the dancefloor when she nearly won “Dancing with the Stars”, getting beat out by just one other athlete. The exposure and reach of VanZant to non-mixed martial arts fans only got bigger at that point, and now she’s one of the biggest stars that weight class has.
VanZant gets asked the question all the time as to whether or not she is single, and the young fighter has done a great job at keeping her life away from the octagon as secretive as possible. VanZant recently shared her plan to find a man, however, and you can check it out below:
My Relationship status: Keep making dr. appointments until I find one who's early 30s cute and single

Seems like a solid plan!
