Paige VanZant on Dancing with the Stars (rumor)

She should try focus on improving her fight game instead of going on some bullshit celebrity game show, especially after that clinic Rose put on against her.

Ronda-esque in her ignorance.
 
Safe to say her fight career has peaked. The moment these people defect is the moment they let this sport slip through their fingers.
 
Shouldn't she be required to.. you know.. be a star first?
 
Damn lol...good for her, I guess. She can probably turn the national TV fame into more $$ than MMA can offer. Good luck to her.
 
I could care less about her tbh. She has a nice body, but man something about her face turns bothers me...She looks good in like 1 out of 50 pics...

But I dont watch that show anyways. Seems to me she is trying other ventures though, so maybe she is putting fighting on the back burner for now. Good for her I guess.

But the way her and Sage were hyped by Dana/UFC was quite pathetic though...
 
If she gets the gig I could see the UFC being very supportive. She's exactly the sort of personality that could help mainstream the sport further.

Hey man I thought Carlton rocked that show. Might just be nostalgia though but I thought he showed he still has what it takes. Dude needs to get back into acting..

The fact that you still call him by the name of his character, from a show that ended 20 yrs ago, kinda confirms it.

I like the dude though. He definitely has a lot left in him.

I disagree.

Paige works hard, knows where she fails and what to work on. She has heart and when she had the crap beat out of her by Thug Rose, she didn't duck the post fight interview and freely admitted that she was not ready for the match and would have to work harder. BUT the match did go into the 5th round. It wasn't an easy fight for Namajunas.

Being on what you call a BS celebrity show exposes MMA to a wider audience. Exposure means more fans. More fans means more money for the fighters. Any sport that does not grow will not prosper.

I am sure that Dana White welcomes this kind of free promotion that DWTS will bring to the sport.

After she fought Rose, didn't it come out that she doesn't actually train combat sports outside of training camps for fights, and just keeps fit with crossfit for the rest of the time? That's not going to work long-term.

It sure does expose MMA to a larger audience, but when that audience tunes in and watch PVZ get dismantled again, they won't be fans for very long.

Omg, she has peaked at 21. All her good years are behind her now, there's no coming back! Just like GSP, when he lost once or twice, it was over for him. Or Robbie, guy never came back from those 10 losses, where is he nowadays, Burger King?

MMA is a cruel sport I tell ya...

You seem confused. I didn't say she peaked because she lost.........

At least read before you post.
