Well, Paige VanZant's nasty foot gash looks quite better

Well, at least Paige VanZant’s foot no longer has a gaping hole in it. So that’s a positive.

The UFC strawweight recently posted a picture of her left foot, which had a crescent-shaped wound roughly half the size of a 50-cent piece. Yeah, it’s gross (via Instagram):

Well damn.

The first thought – other than “yick” – was how it might affect VanZant’s (7-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) reported UFC 216 flyweight fight booking with Jessica Eye (11-6 MMA, 1-5 UFC). The pay-per-view event takes place Oct. 7 – roughly two months from now – at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The 23-year-old VanZant, who recently posted a runner-up finish on “Dancing with the Stars 22” and then suffered a submission loss to Michelle Waterson in December, didn’t give any real details on the foot gash – other than the succinct caption of “Well damn.”
