The president of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), David Feldman, made the announcement on his social media. He also took the opportunity to publicize another event for August 6th, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

A bet by the organization and brought in after the end of his contract with the UFC, VanZant was unable to meet expectations in 'bare-knuckle boxing'. So far, there have been two challenges and no positive results. She debuted with a defeat over Britain Hart and, soon after, also lost to Rachael Ostovich, both by unanimous decision from the judges.

In his career in the sport, there were eight triumphs and five setbacks. VanZant, incidentally, will also make an appearance in the pro-wrestling organization'All Elite Wrestling'. However, participation does not affect your competitions in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
