This is a featherweight headliner which features the anticipated BKFC debut of Paige VanZant. VanZant, who was 8-5 in her UFC career, chose Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship over several other promotions when she was a free agent recently.
Hart, who is 1-2 in her Bare Knuckle Fight Championship fight career, is 4-4-3 in her pro boxing career. She latest competed against Randine Elkholm at BKFC 14, winning via fourth-round TKO (1:21). After the victory, Hart called out VanZant to set up tonight’s meeting.
The two headliners mixed it up at weigh-ins with VanZant grabbing Hart’s throat and Hart unleashing an expletive-laden verbal barrage at the UFC veteran.

Round 1: Earlier in the evening, Britain Hart cut a bit of a backstage promo on VanZant as she has certainly been positioned as the bare knuckle babyface in the build. Hart enters the ring with a lot of swagger, while VanZant is extremely focused and intense for her first BKFC walkout.
