The lights were bright, the tension was electric, and Paige VanZant once again proved why she’s a force to be reckoned with in combat sports. Last night in Las Vegas, the former UFC star continued her Power Slap journey with an impressive unanimous decision win over Mikael Michelle Brown.
I’ve been following VanZant’s career since her UFC days, and let me tell you, her transition to slap fighting has been nothing short of fascinating. This marks her third appearance in the controversial competition, and she’s clearly finding her rhythm in this brutal sport.
VanZant’s Power Slap Evolution
From the opening exchange, it was clear that VanZant’s slap technique has evolved significantly. Her form was crisp, her stance was confident, and her game plan was executed to perfection. Brown put up a valiant effort, but VanZant’s experience and strategic approach ultimately proved too much to overcome.
What impressed me most was VanZant’s composure. Power Slap isn’t for the faint of heart—you’re literally standing still while someone winds up to smack you across the face with full force. Yet “12 Gauge” showed remarkable poise throughout the contest.
“This victory means everything to me,” VanZant stated post-fight. “I’ve been putting in the work, and it feels amazing to see it pay off in the Power Slap arena.”
A Controversial Career Move That’s Paying Off

When VanZant first announced her move to Power Slap after stints in the UFC and BKFC, many fight fans (myself included) raised eyebrows. But you’ve got to respect her willingness to chart her own path in combat sports.
With a massive social media following and various revenue streams including OnlyFans, VanZant has created a unique career blueprint that doesn’t rely solely on traditional fighting organizations. Love her or hate her, she’s making her own decisions and finding success on her terms.

What’s Next for VanZant?
With this victory, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for Paige VanZant? Will she continue her Power Slap journey? Return to BKFC? Or perhaps even make a comeback to MMA?
One thing’s for certain—VanZant has proven herself adaptable across multiple combat sports formats. At just 30 years old, she still has plenty of time to further build her combat sports legacy.
Dana White’s Power Slap organization continues to draw both criticism and fascination from fight fans. While medical professionals have expressed serious concerns about the format, it’s undeniable that the spectacle continues to draw eyeballs and create talking points in the combat sports world.
