Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is known throughout the world for reviving the boxing rules in which fighters compete bare-knuckled. With each event, the sport is surging in popularity. In 2019, the organization matched former UFC fighters Jason Knight and Artem Lobov, and on Friday, July 23, BKFC brings back the ultra-popular powerhouse striker Paige Vanzant for an epic rematch with Rachael Ostovich. The pair last fought in MMA, with Vanzant winning via second round submission.
