We noted before how WWE had planned a segment involving UFC fighter Paige VanZant at this year's SummerSlam but those plans were nixed after the UFC star declined the offer in order to focus on her next UFC fight.
However, it looks like the possibilities of her making an appearance for WWE are not dead just yet as the former Dancing With The Stars contestant herself has shown interest in working with the company sometimes in future.
During a recent interview given to Sports Illustrate, VanZant showed her interest in working with the largest wrestling company in the world and said that she is a huge fan of them:
“We heard a little bit from them. They’re someone I’d love to partner with and work with, they’re a great organization. I’m a huge fan of WWE, and I definitely want to keep them close. Eventually, it’s still something I would love to do.”
Talking about her loss at the hands of Rose Namajunas at UFC Fight Night in December last year, VanZant said that it was terrible and she prefers to learn from her wins rather than learn from her losses:
“Losing is terrible. You can learn from a loss and see areas where you need to improve, but I prefer to learn from my wins. Losing isn’t fun, and I’m happy to get back in there, redeem myself, and put on a good fight.”
VanZant who is the youngest UFC fighter ever to headline a UFC event at the age of 21 years said that for her it's easy to stay grounded because she has a really good inner circle:
“It’s actually really easy to stay grounded in this sport. You can’t go into the cage and not love it, and you can’t go in there unprepared. You have to prepare. I also have a really good inner circle and the team that keeps me grounded.”
Talking about her experience of Dancing With The Stars show where she ended up being a runner-up she said that it was a great experience for her
“Dancing with the Stars was a really great experience, People were definitely surprised that I’m a fighter, or they couldn’t believe I’m a professional fighter, but I feel like I’m going to get that for a while. I’m excited to bring a new demographic over to MMA and the UFC.”
Along with this, Paige VanZant talked about her training, her diet and much more.
