Prior to this win, ’12 Gauge’ saw her perfect UFC run come to an end at the hands of former title challenge Rose Namajunas at UFC Fight Night 80 last December. VanZant also holds notable stoppage victories over Kailin Curran and Alex Chambers

Since defeating Rawling, the Team Alpha Male product has continued to shine as the media darling. Appearing on shows such as LIVE with Kelly and TMZ.

There is currently no word on who she will be challenging next. However VanZant has made it known she is hoping for a spot on the UFC’s upcoming card in her hometown later this year.

“I want to get in that Sacramento card in December,” revealed VanZant.

The entire event will go down at soon-to-be opened Golden 1 Center on December 17 in Sacramento.
