Paige VanZant is days out from her Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) debut. The former UFC star will battle Britain Hart, sans gloves, at BKFC: Knuckle Mania this Friday in Lakeland, Florida.
Ahead of VanZant’s imminent BKFC debut, we reached out to several experienced bare knuckle fighters to get their thoughts on how she’ll perform in the ring.
See what BKFC pros are expecting from Paige VanZant below:
Joey Beltran, BKFC Heavyweight Champion (4-1-1 in bare knuckle fights):
“It’s all a matter of how Paige is going to react after the first exchange. What’s it going to be like the first time she gets cracked with a bare fist in her face, or when she hits Britain on the top of her head or the forehead and feels her hand instantly start to swell up? She’s going to go through a couple things mentally and then we’re gonna find out if she really is fully committed to this bare knuckle game.”
