Youngest or Not?[edit]

Press reports from a month or so ago say shes the youngest female competitor, her UFC profile page says shes the second youngest female competitor and 3rd youngest overall. Do we know if she actually is the youngest or not. I cant think of anyone younger offhand but UFC are saying second. Dimspace (talk) 02:43, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

confirmed. NOT youngest, Pacheco is, maybe people will stop undoing this edit now :D Dimspace (talk) 22:39, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (Notable UFC fighter. Just fought on major card and won fight of the night.) --172.250.14.102 (talk) 01:12, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because VanZant won a major fight, bringing in additional references meeting the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:41, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... Paige VanZant is a well-regarded UFC prospect. She figures to be a fixture of the UFC's new women's strawweight division for several years. --216.2.193.1 (talk) 03:28, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... it is a lot more relevant than America's next top model

Age dispute[edit]

In the paragraph, "Personal Life" it states, " In 2012, Van Zant graduated from TMCC High School, located in Reno, at the age of 16." Her bio on the right side of the page has her birth date as March 26, 1994. One of these items must be incorrect. In 2012 she would have been either 17 or 18 depending on the date of her high school graduation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.69.233 (talk) 16:11, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Culinary School[edit]

I removed the line about her attending culinary school because she dropped out.
