VanZant’s record at the Power Slap podium moved to 1-0-1 after winning her promotional debut against Christine Wolmarans in June.

“Well guys, Power Slap is over,” VanZant said on her Instagram. “Went home with the draw. I accidentally clubbed. That was my fault. Still learning. I was a little bit too close on one of my shots. Just got to get my distance right for the next one. Power Slap, you’re going to see me again” (h/t BJPenn.com).
