Expect a busy and sun-kissed summer for Paige VanZant.
The 27-year-old fighter is rumored to be battling former UFC competitor Rachael Ostovich in a forthcoming Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event, following the latter’s recent signing to the organization.
“We always are looking to sign fighters that can move the needle and fight, and that is exactly what Rachael brings to the table,” Dave Feldman, the president of Bare Knuckle FC said in April, according to MMA Junkie.
“I am looking forward to her debut in July. I know she is training hard and working on her boxing every day and we expect very big things from Rachael,” he continued.
Ostovich, who departed UFC in December, recently shared a collection of training snaps on Instagram, where she boasts 745,000 followers.
VanZant inked a $1 million deal with Bare Knuckle FC last August and lost her debut to Britain Hart. She has been staying active both in and outside the ring, though.
In addition to promoting exclusive content on her “PaigeFanZant” site, she’s making a splash poolside in her signature bold bikinis.
