It is unclear who Paige will face at PS9.
In fact, Paige is not any stranger to hitting and getting hit. She fought within the UFC from 2014 to 2020 … and fought everybody from Rose Namajunas, Amanda Ribas, Bec Rawlings, and Michelle Waterson.
After shifting on from the UFC, Paige has performed a bit of every thing, together with bare-knuckle boxing … and it appears she might now have discovered a brand new house in Energy Slap.
Competing alongside PVZ at Energy Slap 9 (which can stream free of charge on Rumble) … reigning heavyweight champion, Da Loopy Hawaiian (15-1, 13 KOs) vs. Vasilii “Dumpling” Kamotskii (1-0, 1 KO).
