Paige VanZant vows to make Power Slap return after draw in second fight
Paige VanZant has vowed to return to Power Slap after a draw due to a foul in her clash with Chelsea Dodson yesterday.
Last night, Paige VanZant and Chelsea Dodson went to war at Power Slap 9 in Abu Dhabi. While slap fighting may not be to everyone’s taste, it certainly seems to have picked up some real momentum in the last few years. UFC president Dana White was interested enough to kickstart his own promotion and outside of that, plenty of MMA fighters and boxers have shown interest too.

That includes Paige VanZant, who made a winning debut earlier this year. Last night, however, she wasn’t quite as fortunate, coming away with a draw from her collision with Chelsea Dodson. PVZ was ruled to have used an illegal strike, leading to a deducted point on the scorecards – subsequently meaning that she wound up with a draw.
In a short message sent via her Instagram story, the former UFC star had the following to say on how it all played out.
VanZant responds to draw
“Well guys, Power Slap is over,” VanZant said on her Instagram. “Went home with the draw. I accidentally clubbed. That was my fault. Still learning. I was a little bit too close on one of my shots. Just got to get my distance right for the next one. Power Slap, you’re going to see me again.”
