Paige VanZant (5-1) har bara positiva saker att säga om Ronda Rousey (12-0) och tycker att negativa åsikter om Rousey kommer från avundsjuka.
VanZant berättar att Rousey behandlar sina fans på ett väldigt bra sätt och är väldigt trevlig mot fansen och mot VanZant.

“Ronda’s been awesome to me,” sa VanZant. “I don’t see how anyone can look at her and see anything except for, she’s the person you want to emulate and admire. If someone is saying bad things about Ronda, it’s because they’re jealous, they’re small-minded people who would rather tear someone down than build themselves up.”
“It’s the way she treats everyone. She was nice to me, but she was also polite and responsive to every fan and person who wanted to talk to her. That’s the way you should be and that’s why I shake my head when people are jealous of her.”
VanZant har fått mycket uppmärksamhet för sina två matcher i UFC och för sitt utseenede, men VanZant är fullt fokuserad på matchen mot Alex Chambers (5-2) på UFC 191 och ingenting annat.
“That stuff just doesn’t matter to me that much,” sa hon. “I guess it’s my upbringing, my parents kept my grounded and never let me get too full of myself. I just get more of a thrill out of focusing on my next goal than on getting recognized walking down the street.”
“I see Alex as the perfect opponent for this very moment. We have complementary skills. We’re in the same point in our careers. We both beat the same opponent in the same round. We’re different but in some ways we’re on the same path, so when the UFC came to me and told me they wanted me to fight Alex, I knew right away this was the right fight.”
