Ex-model Paige Vanzant, 20, who won during her UFC debut this week, is saving her $50,000 winnings to buy a house.
"It means the world to me. I do have a life plan already planned out. I want to own my own home by the time I'm 24 and that's just going to go into savings so I can get a good start. I'm saving up to buy a house," Vanzant said to Fox Sports.
Vanzant won her UFC debut this week against Kailin Curran three-to-zero with a third-round TKO, reported Mail Online. The former fashion model and cheerleader fought in the 115lbs-and-under "strawweight" class.
An excited Vanzant took to Twitter to share her accomplishment with her followers.
Vanzant was very emotional over her win where her parents were in the crowd supporting her, Fox Sports reported.
"Knowing my parents got to be at my UFC debut. I got to really show that everything they sacrificed paid off," the young fighter told Fox Sports.
