As the UFC Brooklyn main card, Paige VanZant was able to recover from her two-game losing streak against Michelle Waterson and Jessica Rose-Clark. She, who had not fought for more than a year, is back on the winning side. Facing off against Rachael Ostovich, she controlled most of the first round and the beginning of the second, before securing a submission with an armbar that apparently dislocated Ostovich's arm.

In the post-fight interview Paige VanZant had only respect for her opponent: ‘I would like to thank her for accepting this fight. It took me a long time to get back, I'm sure she'll be able to get back on track.’ It was Ostovich’s first appearance in the octagon since the sad domestic violence case.
At the age of just 24, Paige VanZant remains a very promising fighter and her room for improvement is enormous. We hope to see her again soon in the octagon.
