Paige VanZant’s bare-knuckle debut didn’t go according to plan in the main event of BKFC: KnuckleMania. The former UFC strawweight never got going against Britain Hart, struggling to close the distance throughout the fight whilst Hart worked well in the clinch. Despite an onslaught in the fifth round that saw VanZant land her best punches of the whole fight, it was too late for “12 Gauge” and Hart won a one-sided unanimous decision (49-46 x3).
