Rachael Ostovich didn’t care that the odds were against her going into her fight against Paige VanZant in the BKFC 19 main event.
A past loss to VanZant in the UFC back in 2019 definitely played some part in her underdog status but it was inexperience in bare-knuckle competition that likely had Ostovich looking like a longshot to win in her debut.
The 30-year-old Hawaiian was more than happy to prove all of those doubters wrong while delivering a showcase performance over five rounds to ultimately win a unanimous decision while adding a second straight loss to VanZant’s record since signing with BKFC.
