Not Bellator, ONE FC or PFL. After not having his contract renewed with the UFC, paige vanzant signed a contract with Bare Knuckle FC and will perform in 'bare knuckle boxing'. After 13 appearances in MMA, the North American temporarily leaves the sport and will join the company chaired by David Feldman. The information was confirmed by Paige on her social networks late this Wednesday afternoon (12).

"Signed contract. About to change the game. More news about fights coming soon”, wrote the fighter on her Instagram account.
A former favorite of the organization headed by Dana White, VanZant performed for the last time in July of this year, at the UFC 251. On the tightrope and in the last fight of her contract, the North American faced the new Brazilian sensation, Amanda ribas.
In the confrontation, Paige ended up being dominated by the girl from Minas Gerais and succumbed to Amanda's talent. The Brazilian needed less than three minutes to settle the bill and submit VanZant with an armbar.
From her new home, the North American will have the opportunity to prove that she has the aggressiveness to face a dangerous sport. With two knockouts achieved in eight MMA victories, Paige will have to step up her game to get back on the winning track.
Before signing with Bare Knuckle, there was speculation that the American could join Bellator, the same organization in which her husband, Austin vanderford presents itself. The organization's president, Scott Coker, publicly declared his interest in having Paige, but, according to 'MMA Fighting', the proposal made by the 'boss' did not please the athlete.
In a live broadcast, Feldman stated that the combatant's debut should take place in early November.
Currently, Paige is 26 years old. In mixed martial arts, the combatant has eight triumphs and five setbacks.
