BKFC President: Paige VanZant debut targeted for November 14 card

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) president David Feldman spoke to MMA Fighting recently about his most high profile signing to date: Paige VanZant. Feldman told that outlet what his plan was for the former UFC strawweight’s debut in bare knuckle boxing.

According to Feldman the BKFC card scheduled for November 14 “should be the debut of Paige”.

However, Feldman’s plans were hit with a curve-ball recently when VanZant announced that both her and her husband—Bellator’s Austin Vanderford—had tested positive for COVID-19. “I know she was sick recently,” said Feldman.
