Former UFC star Paige VanZant says she knows the date and opponent for her next fight, but is unable to reveal the details just yet.
VanZant parted ways with the UFC in summer of 2020, and promptly signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
She made her debut with BKFC in February, losing a decision to the more experienced Britain Hart despite a spirited effort.
While that debut didn’t go her way, VanZant has been recently teasing the announcement of her next fight, and from the sounds of it, the big reveal is coming soon.
