Paige VanZant may have come up short in her bare-knuckle fighting debut at BKFC: KnuckleMania, but that doesn’t mean her first fight with the promotion wasn’t a success.
According to BKFC president David Feldman, the pay-per-view broadcast for the card featuring VanZant in the main event against Britain Hart delivered in every way possible for the company. Perhaps even more important, Feldman says that VanZant proved she belongs in bare-knuckle competition, especially after she continued to improve with each passing round with her best performance coming in the final two minutes.
“The main event, we invested a lot into Paige VanZant and she showed up and fought really, really well,” Feldman told MMA Fighting.
