37 Quotes by Paige VanZant

I train for whatever happens. I'm prepared for wherever the fight goes.

CrossFit is just another thing I've become passionate about. I like to continue to make gains and compete with myself. There's many ways to do that either with adding weight or competing with my own times or my previous records. It's been nothing but a benefit to me, and I love lifting weights.

I try to eat healthy for the most part. When I cut weight, I cut pretty much everything out. I don't have protein when I cut weight other than what I might get from something like chicken breast. So I don't eat any extra protein, just because I'm trying to get the weight off. That's the only real diet I have.

I definitely want to be an inspiration or a role model for all the little girls out there or anyone out there that wants to break stereotypes.

I've always been very competitive, and I've always had this desire to win my entire life. I guess when it comes to being in the cage, especially, I just hate losing more than I like to win. The idea of someone beating me just doesn't sit well.

I am a huge wrestling fan. I would say The Rock is my favorite person to watch for obvious reasons.

There is a lot more to me than just being a crazy fighter.

'Dancing with the Stars' was a really great experience. People were definitely surprised that I'm a fighter, or they couldn't believe I'm a professional fighter, but I feel like I'm going to get that for a while. I'm excited to bring a new demographic over to MMA and the UFC.

I needed something to challenge myself a little more. I found fighting, and it completely fit my personality.
