THIS BOOK IS FOR ALL THOSE WHO GOT KNOCKED DOWN AND CAME UP
SWINGING. Paige VanZant is a rising Mixed Martial Arts star in the
UFC's women's strawweight division and holds a reputation for her
ability to defeat obstacles and brutal fights in and out of the
octagon. Long before she was a fighting champion and household name
winning over fans on Dancing with the Stars with her beauty,
strength, and infectiously bold personality, Paige struggled with
her self-esteem. On Dancing with the Stars, Paige won hearts when
she opened up for the first time about being bullied but there is
so much more that she hasn't shared until now. The journey that
brought Paige to the UFC is a stunning story of overcoming tragedy
and finding the strength and skills to defend oneself in the face
of evil. Within the pages of Rise is a girl who was so severely
bullied in highschool she had garbage thrown on her, so tortured
she had to move hometowns. She sought refuge but nothing worked
until one day, feeling spiritually broken and emotionally
shattered, she visited her dad at his gym, and everything changed:
she decided to fight back. She became Paige VanZant, a
bone-breaking, head-smashing competitor and world renowned fighter.
Rise is the moving and inspiring journey of a woman who is not only
one of the toughest fighters in the world, but also a beloved
symbol of strength.
