Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I wehewehea a Paige VanZant rāua ko Felice Herrig i a rāua e whakawātea ana i mua i tā rāua tukinga taumaha i New Jersey. Ko VanZant, e 21 noa iho ona tau, e rima noa iho nga whawhai kei muri i a ia, kua oti kē i a ia te whakaohooho i nga huruhuru i muri i tana noho hei tetahi o nga tokoiti i haina i tetahi kirimana takitahi me Reebok. A, i mārama te riri o Herrig i te wā o te tirotirohanga tuku iho i Times Square. Ka tū a Felice Herrig rāua ko Paige VanZant i te wā o te taumahatanga. Ka tūtaki a Herrig rāua ko VanZant ki a rāua i te Octagon i te pō o te Rāhoroi. Ka eke a VanZant ki runga i te pauna i te wā o te UFC Fight Night e paunatia ana ki te Prudential Center. Ka whawhai a VanZant mō te wā tuarua i raro i te haki o UFC ina whawhai ia ki a Felice Herrig. I wehewehea a VanZant rāua ko Herrig i muri i te whakatata atu ki a rāua i te wā o te tirotirohanga tuku iho. I te 21 o ona tau, kua whakaingoatia a VanZant hei toa nui o muri o te UFC ahakoa e rima noa iho nga whawhai.

I te 21 noa iho ona tau, e rima noa nga whawhai ngaio ki tona ingoa, kua eke a VanZant i te pikinga nui mai i tana whawhai tuatahi i te tau 2012. Whai muri i nga wikitoria e toru me te hinganga whakatau, i hainatia ia e te UFC mo te wehenga 115lb hou-hangaia ana i te tuatahi i tohua kia puta i runga i te Ultimate Fighter. Engari na te mea he iti iho ia i te 21 i taua wa, kaore i taea e ia te whai waahi, a, i te timatanga o tana whakataetae ki a Kailin Curran i te marama o Noema i mua, ka mutu te 24-tau-tau i te rauna tuatoru me te whakamutunga. Ka mea a VanZant, 'He tino mea kore tūturu.' 'Ko te mea noa iho he wāhanga ahau o te UFC he wheako nui. He manaakitanga tēnei, ā, kāore au i te whakaaro ka roa rawa te wā e whai pānga ai.
