Paige VanZant, a former UFC headliner and Dancing With the Stars contestant, is not having the best time since transitioning to bare knuckle boxing. Last night, at BKFC 19, ‘12 Gage’ went 0-2 in her new field with a unanimous decision loss to Rachael Ostovich.
VanZant lost with scores of 48-47, 48-47, 49-46. Throughout the fight, against someone she submitted in the UFC Octagon in 2019, VanZant got caught with hard shots and consistently found herself second to the punch.
The gruelling decision loss mirrored her bare knuckle debut, from KnuckleMania earlier this year, where she slumped to a unanimous decision loss to Britain Hart.
