Paige VanZant Reveals Her Hefty Walk-Around Weight … And She Gets Up There!

UFC star Paige VanZant has revealed her walk-around weight prior to entering training camps.

On Tuesday, VanZant appeared on The MMA Hour and talked about why she was moving up to the flyweight division.

During her interview, VanZant revealed that she cuts from 137 pounds to 115 pounds in order to fight as a strawweight. VanZant also said that she had passed out during her weight cut for her last few UFC fights.

“It’s a big cut for me,” VanZant said. “I’m a lot heavier than people realize. I was honestly killing myself for this sport. In my last I want to say two fights or three fights, I’ve passed out in my bathroom. This last one, I passed out and had the doctors almost not cleared me for the fight.”

In her next fight, VanZant will be competing at 125 pounds. On Oct. 7, VanZant will fight Jessica Eye at UFC 216 in Las Vegas.
