Paige Van Zant: “I will say some of the girls in my weight class have very masculine physiques, and I don’t know if you can get those naturally.”

Paige Van Zant is one of the straw weight divisions rising stars and speaking recently to MMA Fighting expressed a fear that the PED problem in MMA also extends to women’s divisions:
“I will say some of the girls in my weight class have very masculine physiques, and I don’t know if you can get those naturally,” VanZant said at a media lunch Monday in Downtown Los Angeles. “I’m not a nutritionist, though, so I don’t really know. But I am happy that USADA is here and implementing the drug-testing policy.”
VanZant wouldn’t name any names or allude to who she thinks they are. But she believes they are out there. Not that it bothers her. “12 Gauge” said she doesn’t let what other people do compromise her training and fighting.
“I think about those things, but also the whole thing doesn’t affect me, so I just look at whoever my opponent is,” VanZant said. “If the strawweight division changes, it doesn’t matter as long as I keep continuing to win fights. Whatever my other opponents do, it has no affect on me.”
