Former UFC fighter Pearl Gonzalez has booked her first bare-knuckle fight with a showdown scheduled against Charisa Sigala at BKFC 18 on June 26.
BKFC officials announced the pairing on Tuesday.
With a 10-5 overall record in MMA, Gonzalez will now shift her attention to bare-knuckle fighting after inking a deal with BKFC earlier this year. Gonzalez will be competing for the first time since February 2020 when she lost a decision to current UFC fighter Miranda Maverick at Invicta FC 39.
Gonzalez has gone 3-2 in her past five fights but this will serve as her first foray into the world of bare-knuckle fighting where she joins fellow UFC veterans Paige VanZant and Rachael Ostovich on the roster.
