Pros react after Britain Hart defeats Paige VanZant at BKFC KnuckleMania
Former UFC standout Paige VanZant returned to action at tonight’s BKFC KnuckleMania pay-per-view event against Britain Hart.
VanZant (8-5 MMA) had most previously competed at July’s UFC 251 event on Yas Island, where she suffered a first round submission loss to Amanda Ribas. Prior to her setback to Ribas, ‘PVZ’ was coming off a submission victory over Rachael Ostovich in January of 2019.
Meanwhile, Hart (4-4-3), a professional boxer from Virginia, was most previously seen in action at BKFC 14. That evening, the 30-year-old walked away with a fourth round TKO victory over opponent Randine Elkholm. With that said, Hart had gone just 1-2 overall while competing under the Bare Knuckle banner.
Tonight’s BKFC KnuckleMania main event proved to be a thrilling back and forth battle. Paige VanZant and Britain Hart exchanged punches from the opening bell until the final horn, much to the delight of the fans in attendance. Hart utilized some good clinch work and a snapping jab to get the better of ‘PVZ’ this evening, walking away with a unanimous decision victory from the judges in attendance.

Ok I’m gonna order the BKFC card tonight. Two female bouts and I’m interested to see of Paige does as well as I expect. That poorly staged weigh in incident between them did nothing for me. But I’m curious enough to order it. So I’ll be here tonight for it.
