The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Paige VanZant is taking over the internet with the release of a photo featuring the fighter topless during a tough weight cut.
“12 Gauge” took the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion by storm within the female strawweight division. With that in mind, VanZant recently revealed that she is making a move to the new female flyweight division instead.
A series of debilitating weight cuts have inspired the talented fighter to try her skills at the new weight class. Many female competitors within the UFC have recently opted to try the new flyweight and featherweight divisions, as to avoid tougher weight cuts. For VanZant, the process had become nearly dangerous to her health.
Check out a picture of VanZant suffering through a weight cut in the photo below, as provided by TMZ:
VanZant is now set to make her debut in the flyweight division at UFC Fight Night 124. For the match up, “12 Gauge” will be taking on Jessia-Rose Clark inside the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri on Jan. 14.
