Paige VanZant bare-knuckle debut with BKFC targeted for November with at least two title fights

It appears Paige VanZant’s debut in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships will come sooner rather than later.

The former UFC fighter, who recently inked a lucrative four-fight deal with BKFC, is currently being targeted for her first fight with the promotion in November. VanZant just recently revealed that she was dealing with serious illness after her husband Austin Vanderford tested positive for COVID-19, but it now appears she’s on the road to recovery.

According to BKFC president David Feldman, the promotion is planning to stack the card alongside VanZant’s debut, which will likely be one of the biggest in the company’s history.
