News Paige VanZant reveals mental health struggles after latest loss: ‘Everyone expects me to lose

I don't understand the hate for her as well.
yes, she's pretty, and sometimes they get more chances, faster than someone that might deserve more but is not an eye candy.... but that's NOT her fault and the hate is really unfounded.

But it's tough out there, and there's nothing much a public person can do more than ignore the envious haters.
Heta is super well founded. I'll give you 2 possible reasons:
- lying to children with cancer
- being an attention wh...
I don't believe a word she is saying, just her another turn towards fb/insta likes.
 
Nice to see she is handling her losses so well. *NOT* This is why we have fucking participation trophies folks. No one wants you to lose Paige, other than the folks rooting for your opponent, who by the way, is your competition on the other side of a very sporting contest. You're a decent fighter Paige. Jeebus, find a way to keep it together or stick to the attention whoring porn schtick. Losing me as a semi-fan here...
 
Meh, I don't wish ill will on anyone AND if she is suicidal she should seek help.

With that being said public personalities should know that haters exist and be prepared to deal mentally with that OR don't be a public personality.

Noone HAS to be a professional fighter and most people probably should not be.
If she is that desperate for money, fame and attention go with the porn route. She has proven to herself and the world that there is a market for that so she can make a living but will still be in the spotlight.

If she can't handle the spotlight withdraw from the public eye and just admit it ain't for you. She's already made some money, hire a good investor and take your chances.

Personally I'm waiting for the porn leaks.
 
She has already released a biography at under 30 years old... She is doing everything popular to make money as fast as possible before she reaches her limit.She is trying to rush it and taking fights with BKFC because of the contract offer was the beginning of the end for her career as a fighter. Even winning you take damage and she has never had strong boxing skills. She was a scrappy grappler with some good kicks, who has a history of broken hands and arms.

She should have either stayed in the UFC or gone to Bellator for less money if she still wants to fiught. She won't make it back their with her current BKFC run and will have to pivot out of fighting at this rate.
None of that's shortcuts, she's striking whilst the irons hot. Is what it is.
If she really is depressed she should seek real help, not just victimizing herself online. - it's true!!!

Real person in severe depression!


a person in depression has no desire for anything, he/she doesn't even have the strength to create an OnlyFans, isolates himself from the whole world, it's sad.

These days we have attention seekers.

Have a read of this...

I personally know two people who go through bouts of pretty intense depression but you would never know it. The mask is on and they're high achievers but it slips in front of certain people.

Stereotyping what mental illness looks like or who experiences mental illness does nothing to help people struggling
 
Don't feel sorry for her one bit. It's the fight game, someone has to lose. Plus she's making hand over fist from her OnlyFans. She's living the life. What's she complaining about? There are people out there who can't pay their rent money.
 
mental health is everybody's excuse now.
:rolleyes:

Basically that. As soon as any hardship is in sight its all about either feeling "offended" by someone, "bullied" or being mentally "ill". Its a brave new world and thats what these people think about, while f.e. in Afghanistan right now thousands of people have to die or are slaughtered directly because of our foreign policy. We gave them hope & now watch them slowly being killed of 1 by one. Its a spiral into narcicism while playing the victim on a grand societal scale.
 
I always knew that she was a hype job and that time was ticking, but early on, I had respect for how dedicated she seemed to the sport. At this point though, how does she expect any real fan of the sport to support her? She is not doing the work.

If she wants to retire from fighting and do other things, that perfectly fine. I just don’t think that mma fans appreciate this Cung Le, McGregor half-in, half-out nonsense.

That's an easy shield to use because no one can "make fun" of mental illness; most of the times, you get cancelled right away if you say something that does not constitute a pat in the back.

At least there are still people like Cejudo, that are not affraid to express their opinions (regarding the Simone Biles subject).
 
Shes not just a terrible fighter but a really bad loser too. I dont know how she expected to win because all she did was walking into punches with her chin straight in the air like she always does. The other girl at least seemed to know how to throw a punch.
 
You never want to hear someone is that depressed, but this is what comes with taking shortcuts. She is unbelievably lucky to have made the money she has with her level of skill, and then making money sexualizing herself... nothing wrong with it, but it's a shortcut that usually comes with a lot of negativity. She basically wants to be rich, famous, and have everyone love her lol... pretty tough to feel sorry for her.

Legit perspective my friend. Well put.

I agree.

LOL
Sorry, but you are an asshole.
Why do you hold her at a standard you obviously don't hold yourself?
And as for being an attention whore, why the fuck do you listen to her then? You don't have to.
She actually uses the attention YOU give her and monetize it.
It is the way of the new world, where guys like Logan Paul gets to use their fame to fight someone like Floyd Mayweather and make millions you won't see in your life.
It is what it is, and now young people make money just by posting whatever bullshit online and getting followers. With followers, companies pays them to use/market products and they make more money, which brings more fans, more adds, more attention, etc.
Blaming/hating her like she's the o0nly one is just stupid.

Fuck, Rogan makes more money from his podcast than he does with his comedy or decades being the voice of the UFC. Will you hate on him too?

You need to relax, see that she is (by far) not the only one, and more importantly, not the most obnoxious/bad one and let her fucking be.
I truly don't understand why ANYONE would feel good for inflicting suffering on someone else.
 
Do something else if you suck at it
 
Agreed, she proved she belonged but just wasn't good enough to be at the top. She got a bit of a push because of how she looked, but that wasn't her fault. Her wanting to do other things and also make money is what pretty much everyone wants and has nothing to do with taking shortcuts.

If she really wanted to take a "shortcut" she would have married a rich guy and sat on her ass all day doing nothing. Instead she's competing in BKB because she actually enjoys fighting.
No she doesn’t, she enjoys being ‘famous’
 
Lol pretty girl doesn't have everything go her way. Cry me a River. Welcome to life
 
Can´t judge her, i don´t know what path she´s on in life.
We all have our demons, you can´t compare them.

I think it´s cool she gave Dana & Co the finger and walked away, had the balls to do BKFC, making good
money on OnlyFans or whatever she´s doing.

And people crying about she didn´t shave her head, what freak would like to see that anyway.

And thanx to @ramair455 - pics now saved to my special UFC folder.
