David Feldman expects Paige VanZant to compete for BKFC for at least one more fight – if not more.
VanZant entered the ring twice for BKFC, losing to Britain Hart, then fellow UFC alum Rachael Ostovich in July 2021. She was scheduled for a third bout in August 2022 against Charisa Sigala at BKFC 27, but it was canceled.
It’s been years since VanZant last competed, but the BKFC president revealed that her team recently reached out to try and get her a fight booked.
“We just had a conversation with her management team about two weeks ago on it,” Feldman told MMA Junkie. “They said, ‘Just give us a date, but we want at least three months notice because she wants to be in great shape for this one and make sure she can concentrate on her training.’ So there is a very, very good probability that you’re going to see Paige VanZant back with BKFC for at least one more fight.”
In the meantime, VanZant made several appearances on All Elite Wrestling (AEW) from 2021 to 2022. She also claimed that she’s made more money since starting to post content on OnlyFans in 2022 than her entire career combined.
