PAIGE VANZANT is dreaming of following Ronda Rousey from UFC TO WWE.
American ex-model VanZant is battling back to fitness after breaking her arm in her last bout against against Jessica-Rose Clark.
But the 23-year-old is already thinking of turning her hand to professional wrestling.
VanZani told MMA Junkie: “It’s just another platform for us UFC fighters to make a name for ourselves.
“I know Ronda is going to do awesome at it, and she’s going to make a name for herself in the WWE.
“I’m a fighter first and foremost, but if the opportunity ever came knocking, I’m not one to turn opportunities down.
“I think it’s an amazing organisation, and I’d definitely love to work with them.”
VanZant – known as “12 Gauge” – is thought to have come close to a WWE fight in 2016 – at SummerSlam.

But that bout was scuppered because she had a contest scheduled at UFC Vancouver for the following week.
She is already quite a celebrity on a wider stage thanks to appearing on America’s Dancing with the Stars two years ago, finishing as runner-up.
She was also on a reality TV cooking series called Chopped.
Apart from 31-year-old Rousey, Brock Lesnar, 40, has also made the switch to WWE.
And, as well as the extra publicity, VanZant might see the move as a chance to revive her overall fighting career, which seems to be stuttering in UFC.
