Paige VanZant has learned to never say never.
Part of that philosophy comes from a lucrative, multi-fight deal to compete in bare-knuckle boxing, which she signed to join the BKFC roster after completing her most recent contract with the UFC.
A few years ago, bare-knuckle competition was essentially outlawed in the United States. BKFC not only managed to work with state legislators to legalize the sport, but the promotion managed to become a real player in the combat sports space in a very short period of time.
Now just days away from BKFC’s KnuckleMania pay-per-view, VanZant is incredibly excited for her debut she knows trading in her gloves for a bare-knuckle fight doesn’t mean she’s done with MMA forever.
