This was VanZant’s first fight back since appearing on Dancing With the Stars.
As the Fox crew noted in the post-fight interview, VanZant had attempted a flying kick in the first round, didn’t land it, and was laughed at by Rawlings:

Given that VanZant has already been involved with a lot of projects outside of the octagon, it is presumable that this fight will only help her marketability.
