Paige VanZant is ready to slap again.
Power Slap announced Wednesday that VanZant is set to face off with Mikael-Michelle Brown at its March 7 event at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas.
Check out the social media post for the news below.
VanZant has had mixed results in Power Slap so far. She won her debut against Christine Volmarans in June 2024, but slapped to a draw against Chelsea Dodson this past October. The 30-year-old has done it all since parting ways with UFC in 2020, having competed in slapping, bare-knuckle boxing, and boxing, though Volmanarans remains her only win in those endeavors.
Brown competes out of Nevada and has a lone amateur MMA bout to her name as far as combat experience goes. She scored a first-round knockout of Vanessa Karnowski at a Tuff-N-Uff event in October 2019. In her Power Slap debut this past December, Brown defeated UFC veteran Emily Whitmire by decision.
It's been an eventful week for VanZant and her husband Austin Vanderford, with VanZant having her next appearance booked and Vanderford, a one-time Bellator middleweight title challenger, set to make his UFC debut this Saturday at UFC Seattle against Nikolay Veretennikov.
