Calling Paige VanZant the female version of Brock Lesnar isn’t far off—just like The Beast Incarnate, she’s a multi-sport athlete who dominates across different arenas. From MMA and pro wrestling to boxing, she’s taken on it all with ease. Adding to her wild resume, she’s also stepped into the brutal world of Power Slap. Fresh off another win at Power Slap 12, VanZant isn’t just competing—she’s making moves. Now, she’s calling out Dana White, demanding a championship belt to cement her place in the sport.

After taking UD win, VanZant made it clear that 125 pounds is her ideal weight class. Emphasizing that she belongs in that division after coming in underweight for her recent Power Slap match at 135. Following her victory at Power Slap 12, she’s now pushing for a women’s championship belt, calling on Dana White to introduce one.

My body and my physique are meant to compete at 125. I’m a true 125-er. I came in underweight at 135—quite a bit—so, yeah, 125 is where I belong. Hey Dana, where is that [125-pound] belt, baby? Hey, put me on the next card. Let’s get some women’s belts… We’re here to stay. We’re here to knock b**hes out and slap people all day,” VanZant said.

Confident in her abilities, VanZant is ready to keep making waves in the sport, proving that women’s Power Slap deserves its own title scene. For now, it’ll be interesting to see if Dana White takes her request seriously. With VanZant proving her dominance in Power Slap, the pressure is on the UFC boss to introduce a women’s championship.
