UFC: Paige VanZant begs Dana White ‘gimme a fight’ as she grows tired of playing the waiting game
- ‘12 Gage’ says she asked to fight in December but has heard nothing back for a month
- ‘I know there’s gonna be a whole list of people who are gonna call me out on Twitter after this’
Paige VanZant has begged Dana White to give her a fight, and said she is ready to go whenever.
The 25-year-old (8-4), who has just one fight left on her current contract, said she asked UFC president White four weeks ago for a bout but she hasn’t heard anything.
“I’m trying to force the hand and get a fight because I’ve been ready this whole time and we’re just waiting to hear who they match me up against,” VanZant told TMZ Sports.
“I texted Dana already, I said, ‘Hey Dana, I’m ready to fight, gimme a fight in December’. At that point, I would’ve had 8-12 weeks and now I’m like, ‘Hey, it’s been four weeks, I’m still ready, what’s going on?’
“I know they have a lot of fights going on, they have three weekends in a row. I know they’re busy but it’s the longest I’ve ever had to wait, especially because I know people call me out all the time.
