UFC Fighters React To Paige VanZant’s Dominating Win Over Chambers
UFC strawweight Paige VanZant is only 21 years old and is already being coined as the next big thing. Her dominating win over Alex Chambers at UFC 191 certainly didn’t do much to quiet the hype, it just made it louder.
VanZant went in as the giant favorite and delivered, beating Chambers up with her frantic pace and striking. Eventually, in the third and final round, VanZant was able to lock in a super quick armbar and forced Chambers, who was thought to have an advantage on the ground, to tap.
VanZant is now 3-0 in the UFC and 6-1 overall. It would probably make sense for the UFC to give her some more fights before trying to throw her in with Joanna ‘Champion’, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Check out what other UFC fighters had to say about the fight and the finish:
