Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant has booked her debut for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships with a showdown scheduled against Britain Hart on Feb. 5.
Multiple people with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Thursday after VanZant revealed on social media that she had signed a bout agreement for a fight.
BKFC president David Feldman previously told MMA Fighting he was targeting the Feb. 5 card for VanZant’s debut, and Hart was one of the leading candidates to land the fight.
Hart is a veteran of BKFC with three previous appearances in the promotion including a recent TKO win over Randine Elkholm.
