Paige VanZant Joins ‘Kickboxer: Retaliation’

[JohnyBrabo]

Hope she shaves her head.

Lol maybe she'll play Tong Po

 

[Verace]

Her having a career in fighting was never going to end well, she won't fight again IMHO.

pretty much this...

to be honest i could never take her seriously when it came to the fighting stuff.... yeah, she tried hard and went deep, but it really didnt seem like it was her passion or a need.

 

[eiyuu]

:shrugs:

Randy Couture still fought in the UFC after he got his first movie role . . .

. . . just because you get a part in a tiny budget movie doesn't automatically mean you're completely Hollywood bound. Took Couture a few years after that to get bigger roles.

It's not like EVERY fighter who appeared in a movie is set for life as an actor . . .

 

[TatooNU]

DJ's next opponents.

Her deadlift is almost as bad as Tony Ferguson's

oh boy.... my back hurts just from watching that

aint in no mood to get her ass kicked again

 

[FrancisBergoglio]

Will GSP be in this one too ?

Pretty embarassing that Paige has main evented a UFC event with such a low commitment to MMA. Then you get male fighters who have done martial arts there entire lives, and busted their asses as pro fighters for years and they're getting nothing.

paige is only 22 and is in the top 10 and has won some good fights and she's 3-1 in the UFC.

the amount of hate on sherdog for her is a little bit disproportioned

thats not a deadlift

 

[JohnyBrabo]

Lol luckily that's about 20 lbs she's throwing around or she'd need a backiotomy

 

[JohnyBrabo]

I know Arnold, I was making a funny.

And she's done all that with no martial arts background and apparently doesn't train MMA outside of training camps. You're just helping my point

thats called talent friend

if she got out of team alpha male and into a real camp she could be top 3

 

[Cynic Man]

Good for her. You can tell she really enjoys the spotlight

Her talent is being an athletic, hot girl. That alone gets you wins over the level of competition she is beating.

Realistically, that says so much about the women's side of the biggest mma promotion in the world.

Very well said. Truth.

Lol what talent? She has a head and arm throw. Rose is so much better and more of a skilled fighter and it showed when PVZ got busted up and bloodied.

Team Alpha Male ain't her problem, it's her level of commitment. She doesn't even work on her craft or try to acquire new skills. She does crossfit when she's not in training camp FFS lol.

 

[KeepItRealist]

No point in returning to Team Alpha Male now that she's gone through the roster.
