VanZant did show some zeal in the last thirty seconds of the bout where it looked like Hart was tiring out. However, it was a clinic from Hart from start to finish. She landed several significant strikes and looked seriously hurt in the clinch exchange.

There’s no dearth of fans who wouldn’t tune in to watch Paige VanZant fight. The American fighter could be looking at continuing her BKFC career.
Should Paige VanZant rake in multiple victories under BKFC, she could also be looking at making a jump back to the UFC Octagon. There are several options for the former UFC fighter. Be that as it may, one should not leave the option of retirement out of the discussion.
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has benefited a lot from Paige VanZant’s popularity and will likely look to keep the former UFC fighter as they continue to get bigger and bigger as a fighting promotion. Only time will tell if Paige VanZant will return to action. However, it takes courage, equally enough for Britain Hart to step inside the ring and exchange bare knuckles.
