“She will fight again. We were thinking about putting her on the 'KnuckleMania' card too. But I thought it was too much and we needed to spread (the fighters) out a little. I don't have an exact date, but I would love to see her back in April. It would be great to have her back and we have a lot of talent that could be good opponents for her. April or May,” Feldman said.

The representative said that he has already started talking to staff  from the North American and revealed that she is already aware that she will fight again soon.

“We will talk to her manager (Malki Kawa) and hopefully we will close this. But we have already started preliminary conversations. She knows she will get ready to fight soon”, revealed the agent.

Fired from the UFC in 2020, VanZant was hired 'in gold' by Bare Knuckle FC, however, her tenure has been disappointing so far. In two fights, against Britain Hart and Rachel Ostovich, the American was defeated by unanimous decision by the judges.
