“Everyone knows how much I earn. I earn US$46 thousand (about R$245 thousand) to fight, US$46 thousand plus US$46 thousand (per victory). I won't hide it. I can make a lot more money than that just by promoting brands on Instagram. I made more money on 'Dancing With The Stars' than I made in my entire UFC career. This just shows that the money is there”, said VanZant in an interview with 'ESPN'.
Without fighting for over a year, the athlete, who suffered from injuries in 2019, still doesn't know if her contract will be renewed after the confrontation against Ribas. Paige, however, guarantees that she is focused for the confrontation in which she will exchange forces with one of the Brazilian promises in the organization.
“I love fighting. It's what I love to do and, for this fight, I gave up all sponsors. I haven't posted anything on Instagram. Nothing matters to me except this fight. It's a blank page, I'm not promoting any sponsors, I have nothing. I'm just excited to get out there and prove myself to absolutely everyone, and I think fighting is how you do that.”
With a record of 12 fights as a professional in MMA, VanZant is not experiencing a great moment in his career. The athlete ended up losing three of her last five fights in the UFC. In her last engagement, in January last year, the 26-year-old American defeated Rachael Ostovich by submission, ending a sequence of two negative results.
