Paige VanZant never publicized her struggle to make 115 pounds. She’s a fighter and the go-to line when discussing an upcoming fight is, “I’ve never felt better.” But it’s been a long time since VanZant felt good inside the Octagon. So she’s making a change and moving weight classes starting at UFC 216 in a flyweight bout vs. former bantamweight contender Jessica Eye. “I have trouble making 115 and I’ve never told anyone that before. It’s kind of been one of my best kept secrets,” VanZant told UFC.com this week. “I cut from like 137 normally, so cutting 22 pounds for somebody my size is pretty significant. So I just made the decision that I don’t want to kill my body.”
