Paige VanZant is no bitch — and just because she got beat up this weekend doesn’t mean she won’t come back and dominate in 2017 … so says her friend and training teammate, Urijah Faber.
VanZant got rocked by Michelle Waterson at UFC on FOX 22 this weekend — and there’s some talk that the “Dancing with The Stars” alum has been focusing too much on Hollywood … and not enough on fighting.
But Faber says that’s a bunch of crap … saying he’s blown away by how VanZant balances the UFC and other opportunities … and says she’s such a hard worker, there’s no reason she can’t keep it up.
He does say Paige needs to make some “improvements” if she wants to dominate moving forward — but he’s 100% confident she can do it.
