Final Thoughts:
As the world of combat sports had their eyes on Paige VanZant's first bare knuckle boxing match. The hype made her the favorite of tonight's Main Event of BKFC's KnuckleMania. However, Britain Hart had other plans. She was relentless in 10 minutes with the former UFC fighter. And now the Virginia Native is the clear favorite for a 125 LBS. Championship Belt, if and when BKFC decides to have that belt.
