“It’s something that’s inside of me and I guess not a lot of people are born with that, it’s something I was born with.” VanZant said during an interview with Fox Sports. “I’ve kind of had that my entire life. I’ve always been a bubbly and energetic and happy person but when I get upset, I get frustrated; when someone makes me mad, I definitely have a temper and I’ve had to deal with having a temper my whole life. But I’ve been able to target it into fighting and it just helps me that I have this amazing outlet and not a lot of people have seen my crazy, mean side.”

However, the weight cut became too much for her body to handle and decided it would be better to move up to 125lbs. She is still one of the biggest names in the UFC, so there’s no question she will be in flyweight title contention with a few wins.
