  • Despite recent back injury, Paige VanZant hoping to fight before year’s end

    Despite her recent back injury, Paige VanZant is still hoping to fight in 2017.

    VanZant, who was forced to withdraw from UFC 216 due to a herniated disc, told MMAFighting.com that she is currently undergoing physical therapy for her injured back and is hopeful she’ll be able to fight again before the end of the year.

    The 23-year-old VanZant added that she’s currently dealing with the same back injury she had before she signed with the UFC in 2014.

    VanZant suffered the injury training jiu-jitsu and was advised by her doctor to avoid training for a few weeks. She won't, however, need to undergo surgery.

    PVZ, who hasn’t fought since December 2016 and recently relocated from Sacramento, Calif. to Portland, Ore., was scheduled to fight Jessica Eye next week in Las Vegas, though she isn’t set on fighting Eye upon returning.

    “Depending on my healing timeline, I’ll fight anyone who is available,” she said.

    UFC has targeted a flyweight fight between Paige VanZant and Jessica-Rose Clark on Jan. 14 in St. Louis, according to sources.

    Officials have not yet announced the 125-pound matchup, but multiple sources confirmed the plans to ESPN. MMAFighting.com first reported the bout.

    VanZant (7-3) has not fought in 2017. She was scheduled to face Jessica Eye at UFC 216 in October but was forced to withdraw due to injury.

    VanZant is 4-2 overall in UFC but has lost two of her last three fight. She is coming off a submission loss to Michelle Waterson in a UFC main event slot in late 2016.

    Clark (8-4) made her UFC debut last weekend at UFC Fight Night in Sydney, Australia. Fighting on short notice, she defeated Bec Rawlings via split decision. Clark fights out of Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas.

    The UFC has not yet announced a main event for the Sunday card, which will take place inside Scottrade Center.
