Paige VanZant Seems To Have Had A Brutal Schedule As She Prepares For Her Fight At UFC 251 On Fight Island

Paige VanZant is the biggest underdog on this weekend’s UFC 251 show emanating from their Abu Dhabi Fight Island location. She’s also in the last fight of her contract and has indicated she wants a substantial raise if she were to renew. That’s a lot of tension for Paige VanZant. But the crossover star fighter hasn’t showed it on her Instagram where she illustrated some of the strict UFC 251 Fight Island protocols:

Paige VanZant and her husband arrived in Abu Dhabi after the 15+ hour flight from Las Vegas

After their Abu Dhabi arrival, Paige VanZant showed off her flexibility and lack of listening to the “Five Little Monkeys” song about the dangers of jumping on the bed

Paige VanZant posted this video after 36 hours of quarantine in Las Vegas, the 15+ hour flight, and amidst another 48-hour quarantine in Abu Dhabi

Her husband may actually be the most game Instagram Boyfriend type ever. Lots of props to Bellator’s Austin Vanderford.

Paige VanZant also showed off her moonwalking skills as the Abu Dhabi quarantine continued

She also apparently took an inhumane number of baths

And, as of an hour ago, Paige VanZant was finally unleashed upon Fight Island…

… and now she has to spend a chunk of her day doing media too

I like Paige VanZant, as any red-blooded guy likely would. But this is a whoooole lot of effort for Awesemo’s lowest projected fighter on the card. As a +625 underdog, there’s a pretty decent chance she gets smoked by Amanda Ribas on her way out of the UFC. It’s one thing if you take all these steps and pick up a glorious win in UFC’s first Fight Island card. But it’s another if you have a schedule that’s likely way harder than usual just to get stomped on your way out.

Who knows? Maybe with these positive vibes that Paige VanZant brings to the table, she pulls off the upset of the card. Then Dana White will have no choice but to back up that Pat Mahomes truck for Paige VanZant.

^wo-man* her*
