Rachael Ostovich signs with BKFC, promotion targets summer debut against Paige VanZant

Rachael Ostovich has found a new home with BKFC – and her first assignment could be against former octagon opponent Paige VanZant.

On Tuesday, BKFC announced Ostovich’s signing with the promotion, which comes four months after her UFC release on a three-fight skid. Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans told MMA Fighting that a rematch between Ostovich and VanZant is targeted for June or July, though an exact date was not available and negotiations for the bout are ongoing.

VanZant, who signed with BKFC this past August after running out her previous UFC contract, looks to rebound after a setback in her bare-knuckle debut in February.
