Filed under: News , UFC LOS ANGELES – Sambas and rumbas, paso dobles and jives kept her competitive fires burning the past 10 weeks, but it sounds like Paige VanZant might be ready to punch someone in the face again. The UFC strawweight on Tuesday wrapped up Season 22 of the long-running ABC show “Dancing with the Stars,” and along with pro dance partner Mark Ballas fell just short of the famed Mirror Ball Trophy. The pair finished second to deaf model Nyle DiMarco and pro partner Peta Murgatroyd. After three months of training for and competing on the show, VanZant said she’s got the itch to get back to fighting. And even though she came up short of the title, she said the experience of being on the show allowed her to open up to a new audience – an audience that learned of a past as a bullying victim, and how she was able to overcome it.
