Paige VanZant, former sweetheart of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), turns the 120-gram gloves TODAY (Friday, February 5, 2021) when she headlines the latest extravagant pay-per-view (PPV) Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) against promotional regular, Great Britain Hart.
MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of the main “Knucklemania” PPV card below, which starts at 9:00 pm ET right here. The event also features a trio of free “Prelims” fights in Youtube.
The 26-year-old “12 Gauge” ended his run in the octagon last year after a submission loss to Amanda Ribas and now faces a tough test at the durable Hart, who was 4-4-3 as a professional boxer and 1-2 in the “Square Circle”. The two defeats came by split decision for UFC veteran Bec Rawlings and by stopping the current highlight of the division Christine Ferea. The best fight of the night comes in the co-feature, which shows the defeat of the unbeaten octagon (5-0), Johnny Bedford, who defends his bantamweight title against former 20-3 professional boxer Dat Nguyen. In addition, Chris Leben returns to action against Quentin Henry (2-0).
