Paige VanZant could be making the jump to the wrestling ring in the future.

The UFC fighter expressed interest in working with WWE "when the time is right" while speaking to TMZ Sports.

"That is definitely something that I'm interested in. I love the WWE," VanZant said. "I think that I would for sure be a good WWE Diva. For sure. We'll see if that opportunity comes - I would definitely go for it. If the knock comes on my door, I'm taking it."

VanZant also sounds open to the idea of squaring off against former UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in the WWE.

"That would be interesting," she said. "I think they might have to allow some real shots - really real shots fired. You know, because why not?”

Rousey has yet to finalize a deal with WWE, though she and her agent were spotted dining with Triple H last week.
