Subscribe now so you don\u2019t miss out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paige VanZant entered the combat sports limelight as a member of the UFC roster, competing nine times for the promotion between 2014 and 2020. In that time, she picked wins over the likes of Kailin Curran, Felice Herrig, Bec Rawlings and Rachael Ostovich. She parted ways with the promotion mid-way through 2020, after coming up short against Amanda Ribas in the final obligation on her latest UFC contract.<\/p>\n<p>Upon entering free agency, VanZant reportedly received interest from several MMA promotions, but ultimately decided to try her hand at bare-knuckle fighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t strictly financial for me,\u201d Paige VanZant shared on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMAonSiriusXM\/status\/1341533596255924225\"><span class=\"s1\">Unlocking the Cage, <\/span><\/a><span class=\"s1\">discussing her move to BKFC<\/span>. \u201cI actually had three or four big players when it came to negotiating contracts. So I had four awesome offers to look at. I think everyone kind of expected me to go to Bellator cause that\u2019s where my husband [Austin Vanderford] fights. And of course, that aspect did intrigue me, I\u2019d love to fight for the same organization as him. It makes sense career-wise, I guess. But, the passion in me wanted to go to bare-knuckle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI feel like looking at my fight career, yeah I have an equal amount of submission finishes, knockouts, and like a decision,\u201d VanZant added. \u201cSo for me, it was more about when you look at my whole fight career, the one thing that stands out above anything is how tough I am and I carried that through every single fight and I think the people who really make it in bare-knuckle boxing are the people who are tough. It\u2019s a sport for only the toughest of the tough. And that\u2019s where I want to show my worth and my value. At the same time, I get to utilize and sharpen what I feel is one of my best weapons and that\u2019s my striking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How do you think Paige VanZant will do in her BKFC debut?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paige VanZant is officially slated for BKFC debut.
