UFC Women’s Straw weight fighter Paige Van Zant announced earlier this week on Twitter that she would be shaving her head. Why? For charity:

“I feel so blessed. I have so many opportunities handed to me, and I’m able to wake up everyday and not have to go to a 9-to-5 job. I get to go to training and do everything I love. It’s like as blessed as I am, I want to do something for those aren’t as blessed as I am,” VanZant told FOX Sports.

“A lot of people are fighting cancer, and that’s something I don’t have to go through. I don’t have to wonder when it’s going to be my last day. I just feel like I’ve been blessed by God by all these wonderful things. I wanted to do something to give back.”

“I’ve had a lot of negativity from the head-shaving idea, so maybe I’ll rethink it and try to think of something else I can do to give back. Maybe I’ll donate money because it’s an amazing cause,” VanZant said.
