Following the fight, '12-Gauge' discussed about a potential rematch. In her post-fight octagon interview, VanZant said

“Honestly I said it would be a tough fight the whole camp.. I knew how tough she was. I took the fight for a reason. I was excited. I watched her past fights. I knew it’d be tough. It is what it is. It sets up the perfect rematch. I signed a multi-fight contract for a reason. It looks like we’re going to do it one more time, I think in Dubai it sounds like.”
