Paige VanZant turns down Bellator, signs with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

Paige VanZant made it abundantly clear that she was looking for other potential opportunities outside the UFC when she hit free agency. And when Dana White basically showed her the door, her decision was probably made that much easier. But where she actually ended up is a bit of a surprise.
