Power Slap is going international for the first time, and they’re doing it with some star power because TMZ Sports learned Paige VanZant will compete on October 24th in Abu Dhabi!
VanZant, 30, one of combat sports’ biggest stars, will be one of the athletes holding the Power Slap 9 card at the Space 42 Arena in Abu Dhabi.
PS9 drops in the same week as UFC 308, headlined by Max Holloway vs. Ilia Topuriaall happening on “Fight Island”.
This is the second time that PVZ competes in Power Slap. She was part of PS8… defeating Christine Wolmarans by unanimous decision, 30-25.

It’s unclear who Paige will face on PS9.
Of course, Paige is no stranger to hitting and being hit. She fought in the UFC from 2014 to 2020… and fought everyone from Rosa Namajunas, Amanda Ribas, Bec Rawlingsand Michelle Waterson.
After leaving the UFC, Paige did a little bit of everything, including bare knuckle boxing… and it looks like she’s now found a new home in Power Slap.
Competing alongside PVZ in Power Slap 9 (which will be broadcast for free on Bang) … current heavyweight champion, From Crazy Hawaiian (15-1, 13 knockouts) vs. Vasilii “dumpling” Kamotskii (1-0, 1 knockout).
