Paige VanZant will be the first to admit that no amount of training can truly get you ready to compete in bare-knuckle fighting until actually stepping into the ring to do battle.
Back in February, the former UFC star made her debut with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships after inking a lucrative contract with the promotion as a free agent. In the early moments in her fight against Britain Hart, VanZant had her moments but she was also experiencing what it was like to get hit without gloves for the first time and then delivering the same punishment in return.
