It looks like Paige VanZant won’t be part of the upcoming landmark UFC 200 event after all.
Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com broke the news on Tuesday that VanZant, who had originally hoped to fight on the July 9th event, will no longer be part of the plans for the show.
VanZant’s manager Mike Roberts told MMA Fighting that due to the amount of time her work on “Dancing With The Stars” is taking, she will not be able to properly prepare for a fight on 7/9.
“After thinking about it, the show is taking up a lot of her time,” Roberts said. “She wants to have time to improve and get better, so we decided to postpone her return to about late-August.”
UFC Women’s Strawweight contender Paige VanZant, who is one of the favorites to win this season of “Dancing With The Stars,” last fought inside the Octagon in December, where she was dominated by former TUF finalist Rose Namajunas.
