UFC flyweight Paige VanZant tweeted late Sunday night that she broke her right arm in a decision loss earlier in the evening to Jessica-Rose Clark in St. Louis.

The injury happened when VanZant (7-4) threw a spinning back fist in the second round of the three-round fight, which she finished.

And that's the shot that broke my arm lol @missjessyjess you got a hard head girl!! Congrats tonight. Tough as nails https://t.co/khKxLO1ugB — Paige VanZant (@PaigeVanzantUFC) January 15, 2018

VanZant's inability to throw or defend effectively with that arm from that point on seemingly played a factor in VanZant dropping her second consecutive fight and third of her past four.

Well... I broke my arm in the first! I was able to finish the fight but as you can see, had a hard recovering and throwing my right. I'll be back better and stronger than ever! 💪🏼🦁 it's all apart of the fight game. God had other plans for me. 🙏🏼 darn spinning back fist. pic.twitter.com/v5DhSv5YxD — Paige VanZant (@PaigeVanzantUFC) January 15, 2018

Clark, an Australian who now fights out of Las Vegas, improved to 9-5. It was the second win of her UFC career, her most recent being a split decision victory against Bec Rawlings in November.
