Is the end of Paige VanZant at BKFC near? Promoter admits she will no longer be counted on if defeated
Paige VanZant is one of the most famous MMA fighters in the world. The twenty-eight-year-old American retired from the UFC in the summer of 2020 and signed with the BKFC, where she fights without gloves. However, she is close to the end there too, due to performance reasons.
Paige VanZant is one of the most famous MMA fighters in the world. The twenty-eight-year-old American retired from the UFC in the summer of 2020 and signed with the BKFC, where she fights without gloves. However, she is close to the end there too, due to performance reasons.
Paige VanZant hasn’t exactly been doing well lately. The popular blonde quit the UFC after a not-so-good streak and decided to switch to fighting without gloves.
She has been taken under the wing of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championschip organization, which is certainly not paying her very little money. After all, VanZant is one of its biggest stars.
But when the results aren’t there, a contract extension isn’t on the agenda. After all, she first fell to Britain Hart and later to Rachael Ostovich, whom she ironically defeated in the 2019 UFC.
Now she will fight Charise Sigal and the goal is clear, win or be done. That, by the way, was admitted by promoter David Feldman himself in an interview with GiveMeSport.
“It’s true. If VanZant were to fail again, it would most likely mean the end of her in this organization. She says she doesn’t feel any pressure on herself, but maybe she should. We can’t keep waiting to see if she catches on or not.
If she doesn’t win or at least put on a really great performance, it could be the end of her career. Forus, for sure,” said Feldman. The fighter herself acknowledged that she is making ten times what she makes in the UFC and doesn’t want it to end.
