Okay, so let’s dive into this whole situation with Paige VanZant. I swear, that woman’s career is like a soap opera—just when you think you know what’s happening, it takes some unexpected wild turn. I mean, it’s been over five years since she stepped into the octagon for MMA, right? But she hasn’t exactly been lounging on a beach sipping piña coladas. Nah, our girl’s been slapping, punching, and… dancing? Yep, she’s tested the waters of bare-knuckle boxing, regular old boxing (with gloves, who would’ve thought?), and Power Slap. Honestly though, slap fighting is where she seems to be killing it, undefeated and all. Who knew face-smacking could be a thing?
So, earlier this year, PVZ did this thing where she signed up with this Global Fight League (GFL). Sounds fancy, huh? But if you think she’s been kicking and punching her way back since her 2020 match with Amanda Ribas, well, you’d be wrong. She was all hyped, ready to jump back into MMA action, but nah, the universe had other plans.
And now the plot twist: just yesterday, headlines started flying around about GFL. Apparently, the thing just fell apart? Or is it just on hold till June? It depends on who you’re talking to. Either way, folks everywhere, from superfans to the know-it-all pundits, are acting like GFL’s just dead in the water. It’s kind of like expecting some grand fireworks and getting a soggy firecracker instead.
Now here’s where Paige made everyone’s jaws drop. She posts on Instagram, like early on Thursday, and bam! She’s a “free agent.” Like, hello freedom! She was supposed to fight in those now-nonexistent GFL May events, and now… nada. Rumor has it some other fighters feel like GFL might just be a ghost ship at this point.
What’s going to happen next? Got no clue. I’d love to peek at what clauses she’s scribbled her name on with GFL, but hey, betting their lawyers aren’t exactly sitting on wads of cash to keep Paige tied down. So, UFC comeback, maybe? Just tossing it up in the air, but PVZ was letting those nostalgic feelings for the UFC slip just last month. She might just dance back to the UFC if they’ll have her.
Anyway, can’t wait to see what shenanigans Paige dives into next.
