Protagonist of Bare Knuckle 19, which takes place this Friday (23), in Florida (USA), paige vanzant believes he has an advantage in his fight against Rachael Ostovich. In search of her first victory in the organization, the former 'UFC sweetheart' pointed to her first test in the company, in February, as determining the success of her commitment.

“I know that, for this fight, there is no question about ‘how it will be’. Will I break my hands? Will I get a cut? (…) Now, I no longer have these questions. I know exactly how it feels. (…) Trying something new for the first time is always a little scary,” said Paige.
At BKFC since last season, VanZant made her debut for the organization in February 2021. Although the confrontation ended with the blonde losing on points, the American understands that she gained experience against Britain Hart.
“I learned a lot from that. You really need experience to be successful in bare-knuckle boxing. Now, I have the experience. (…) I have one of the best boxing coaches in the world in my corner and I haven't stopped working since that fight. You’re going to see a whole new fighter,” he concluded.
The confrontation between VanZant and Ostovich will headline this Friday's event. The meeting will mark the rematch between the fighters, who faced each other in 2019, with UFC gloves. On that occasion, Paige won with a submission against Rachael.
