Paige Van Zant, who is accustomed to bare-knuckle fights recently had a bout with OnlyFa*s model and TikToker Elle Brooke. Even though Van Zant is experienced in the UFC arena, this particular fight might have come as a slight blow to her. Her pro boxing match in the Misfits Boxing: X Series 15 concluded in a split decision draw. Van Zant did prove her professional prowess in the fight but the last round was a turn of events. The opponent who had once declared that she did not know what a jab was two years ago, outperformed the fighter with 13 MMA fights in her belt. 

While several fans thought that this fight was not impressive, Conor McGregor was of a different opinion and seemed impressed by the UFC fighter.

Elle Brooke surely surprised many fans with her recent fight against the veteran UFC star. She showed her prowess and secured a KO against ’12 Gauge’ in the opening round. However, Van Zant’s spirits are at an all-time high and this fight did not deter her because she uploaded a picture showing off her muscular back. The BKFC veteran even captioned the post writing, “Just cause I wanna make the haters mad.” Even though the fans were slightly disappointed by her fight in the competition and commented on the same, the comment section also graced a comment from ‘The Notorious.’

He wrote, “Well in Paige! What a fighter!” even though ‘Mystic Mac’ praised and encouraged her, van Zant has seen better outcomes in her fights before. Unfortunately, ’12 Gauge’ has not won fights in 5 years and her last achievement came against Rachel Ostovich. On the other hand, she might be concluding her fighting career but has an extremely successful social media career.  MacGregor too, is coming back to the UFC game after two years somewhat similarly after losing to Dustin Poirier and having surgery before the fight. However, he seems to be ready and as strong as ever. 

Even Dana White compared the two fighters and said that ’12 Gauge’s’ success somewhat resembled that of McGregor. However, McGregor’s long-time friend Dillon Danis had a different opinion about the fight between Elle Brooke and Paige Van Zant.

“Real fighter” dropped by a p*rn star,” declared  Dillon Danis. The short clip showed Elle Brooke throwing a straight right cut that made a perfect connection with van Zant’s face. The impact of the punch made her sit on her knees and face the countdown. However, since van Zant is a pro fighter she got back up and continued the fight. Dillon Danis who lost to Logan Paul, however, had this harsh comment against the fighter. 

The fans disagreed though and some  even commented things like, “She did 1000x better than you did against Logan Paul, lol.” ‘El Jefe’ and McGregor might be friends but seems like they differ in opinion when it comes to ’12 Gauge’. The online fight between this duo started following an interview with Misfits Boxing where Van Zant commented,  “Dillon Danis is not a fighter. He is not a fair comparison.”

This was enough for the grappler from New Jersey to fire back with a post. He said, “How fast they forget! Haha, relax, Paigey baby. Just because I didn’t wife you doesn’t mean you have to be petty. Don’t make me bring up our two trips to Vegas and ruin your marriage.”  This kept on continuing and still is in the works.

McGregor is on Paige’s side so do you think that Danis and the notorious could have a rift over this? Or is everything going to be fine in the UFC world?
