Paige VanZant vs. Rachael Ostovich set for Bare Knuckle FC event on July 23

Paige VanZant has received her second assignment under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner. She will welcome fellow former UFC fighter turned recent BKFC signee, Rachael Ostovich, on an upcoming event currently scheduled for July 23.

The fight was announced by the promotion Thursday afternoon on social media.

VanZant made headlines when she made the transition from mixed martial arts to bare-knuckle boxing following her departure from the UFC upon the completion of her fighter contract in August of last year. Her promotional debut came in February opposite of Britain Hart at BKFC: KnuckleMania, where she served as one half of the main event.
