“I’ll Fight On An Island Too!!”- Paige VanZant’s Latest Message to Dana White has Fans Bemused

Paige VanZant became the latest fighter to throw her name into the hat for future UFC events. The Flyweight fighter tweeted, “I’ll fight on an island too!!” She tagged the official UFC handle, UFC President Dana White and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard. 

‘PVZ’ has not entered the Octagon for over a year. Her last fight was in January 2019 against Rachael Ostovich. She was scheduled to face Amanda Ribas at the latest UFC event. However, the fighter fractured her arm and had to pull out. Her latest tweet shows that her injury has healed sufficiently enough to allow her to return to the Octagon. 

Paige VanZant wants to return to action

Paige VanZant is under quarantine like most other people. But she is spending it in a rather unique way. The 26-year-old posted a series of nude pictures with strategic coverings on her Instagram. She and her husband were shown working out, cooking, gardening and just posing in the buff.

If White takes her up on her offer, it will be ‘PVZ’s final UFC fight on her current contract. She revealed plans on exploring her options as one can’t find value until they are free agents. She told SCMP, “the only people that can set your value are the people that you’re signed with.“

Twitter users remember her Instagram activities as well as her history with injuries and came up with some sneaky replies to the tweet.

UFC 249 will take place on 18th April. The main event will see Tony Ferguson fight Justin Gaethje for the Interim Lightweight Championship. The card also features a match between Jessica Andrade and Rose Namajunas.

Dana White has said he will hold fights every week at the secret UFC location. He also hinted at only United States-based fighters competing, as it will be easy for them to travel domestically. He will need to transport more fighters to the undisclosed location if he is to succeed in his aim to hold weekly fights and get normalcy back into the country. 

Will White and Maynard consider PVZ’s tweet?
