It marked her final fight in her UFC deal and even promoter Dana White urged the American to test out different promotions.

And Bellator - who have VanZant's husband Austin Vanderford on their roster - have already expressed their interest.

But Coker will first wait until she finishes her vacation with Vanderford.

He told : “I don’t think we’ve had a business conversation yet.

"We definitely have a relationship with her and her husband, her camp, her management, so we definitely will reach out here when she gets back and settled.

"She’s back but she’s probably still settling from the trip. From what I heard, it wasn’t a very fun time over there.

"But listen, do we want to be in the Paige VanZant business? We definitely want to have a conversation with her."
