BKFC KnuckleMania – The buildup to Paige VanZant vs. Britain Hart

Paige VanZant’s most recent MMA fight came at UFC 251 in July 2020. The said fight witnessed VanZant suffer a first-round submission loss at the hands of Amanda Ribas. VanZant then parted ways with the UFC and signed a multi-fight contract with BKFC.

Meanwhile, Paige VanZant’s BKFC KnuckleMania opponent Britain Hart has been hailed by many as an ideal opponent for VanZant’s debut in the sport of bare-knuckle boxing. Hart is incredibly durable, has an aggressive fighting style, and many expected her to be a great test for Paige VanZant.

Britain Hart holds a record of 1-2 in BKFC and 4-4-3 in professional boxing. Hart’s most recent fight saw her score a fourth-round TKO win over Randine Elkholm at BKFC 14 in November 2020. And considering her boxing chops, it isn't a surprise that she ended up winning the bout.
