UFC fighter and recent Dancing With The Stars runner-up Paige VanZant spoke with ESPN’s Hannah Storm on Thursday to discuss the news that she’ll be returning to the Octagon against Bec Rawling on August 21st at UFC on FOX 21. The news is particularly relevant because VanZant was rumored to be involved at SummerSlam, with her management team confirming they were in talks with WWE for an appearance.
During the ESPN interview, VanZant said she’s 100% focused on her UFC return right now but she would love to participate in anything WWE has to offer, as long as the timing is right in regards to her fight schedule. She added that she loves WWE and if they ever reach out again, she would want to work with them but her main focus is the Rawlings fight right now.
