- Paige VanZant beat Mikael Michelle Brown on Friday in her third Power Slap fight
- VanZant later called on Dana White to introduce championship belts for women
Paige VanZant made a triumphant return to Power Slap with a dominant victory on her third outing in Dana White’s slap-fighting promotion – before calling on the UFC boss to introduce championship belts for women.
The 30-year-old, who has competed across multiple combat sports and built a massive following through adult platform OnlyFans, continued her unbeaten streak in Power Slap with a commanding win over Mikael Michelle Brown in the 125-pound division.
VanZant had previously fought to a draw in her last contest due to a foul but left no doubt this time, securing a 30-27 decision on the judges’ scorecards.
Despite VanZant landing three thunderous slaps that visibly marked her opponent’s face, Brown remained standing, denying VanZant a knockout finish.
However, the former UFC star was pleased with her performance and used her post-fight interview to push for a major change in the promotion.

‘Hey Dana, where’s that [125-pound] belt, baby? Put me on the next card,’ VanZant declared.
‘Let’s get some women’s belts. We’re here to stay. We’re here to knock b****es out and slap people all day.’
VanZant also reflected on her approach to the fight, revealing that she had switched to using her right hand instead of her left but now plans to revert back.
‘It feels incredible. The win feels good,’ she said.
‘I switched to my right hand, I think I’m going to go back to my left. My left is more powerful. I’m going to go back to the left for the next one.’
The American continues to build an eclectic combat sports resume, having competed in bare-knuckle boxing with BKFC and more recently facing influencer Elle Brooke in a Misfits Boxing bout in May 2024, which ended in a draw.

Her combat career shows no signs of slowing down, as she has also signed with the newly formed Global Fighters League, where she hopes to reignite her MMA career.
‘I think this is the perfect opportunity because I didn’t necessarily leave MMA,’ VanZant explained.
‘I definitely didn’t leave MMA because I wasn’t passionate about it, but when I became a free agent outside of the UFC, the biggest offer that came in was [from BKFC]. They were the ones. They presented the best offer to me and it was exciting, and it was new, and it really sparked my interest.
‘Now there’s this new MMA promotion organization that actually made me really excited to fight for them.’
