BKFC star Paige VanZant isn’t ready to pull the plug on her combat sports career: ‘I’m desperate to fight’

UFC fighter turned BKFC brawler Paige VanZant isn’t putting her combat sports career to bed just yet.

After six years and nine fights under the UFC banner, ’12 Gauge’ walked away from the promotion in search of a more lucrative offer despite her middling 5-4 record inside the Octagon. VanZant ended up getting exactly that, landing a lucrative offer with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship shortly after her departure from the Las Vegas-based promotion.

More than three years after signing on the dotted line with BKFC, she is still yet to earn her first victory inside the squared circle.
