Dana White On Paige VanZant’s Loss: “She’ll Get Better”

UFC president Dana White has weighed in on Paige VanZant’s devastating loss to Rose Namajunas at UFC Fight Night 80 last night. Here’s what white had to say at the post-fight press conference last night about VanZant’s loss:

“This is the win-or-lose business. This is what these guys do. They go in and take fights,” White said. “We told Paige, ‘You’re young in the sport.’ She almost beat the s–t out of [matchmaker] Sean Shelby at the offices for telling her that.”

“She’s aggressive. She’s a competitor and if you doubted it, you saw it tonight,” he said. “She’s got the dog in her. There was no quit in her. I told her tonight, ‘You’ll learn more from this loss than from all your wins in the past.’ You saw it tonight what she’s got. She’ll get better and she’ll keep working.”

VanZant currently has a record of 6-2, and it’s not known when she is expected to fight next.
