Truth be told, Paige VanZant didn’t really expect to compete in Power Slap until she got a call from Dana White asking if she was seriously interested.
The conversation began after VanZant told her manager she would actually participate in the slap-fighting league started by the UFC CEO. Not long after she spoke to White on the phone, VanZant had a contract sent to her inbox.
“My manager, I don’t even know how it happened, we were talking about Power Slap, how crazy it was,” VanZant told MMA Fighting.
