Paige VanZant vs. Rachael Ostovich Announced For BKFC 19

By Fight Sports May 27, 2021

Paige VanZant and Rachael Ostovich will be fighting each other once again, only this time it’ll be under the BKFC banner.

Many were surprised when VanZant announced her move to bare-knuckle boxing back in August 2020. She made her BKFC debut back in February, dropping a unanimous decision to Britain Hart.

Fans were equally as surprised when Ostovich signed with BKFC back in April. It left the door open for a rematch between VanZant and Ostovich and that’s exactly what we’re getting on July 23.

BKFC made the announcement on its Twitter page.

“OFFICIAL: Paige VanZant welcomes Rachael Ostovich to the BKFC this July at BKFC 19.”

Back in January 2019, VanZant and Ostovich went toe-to-toe. They battled on the main card of a UFC Fight Night event. VanZant picked up the victory via second-round armbar. They will now face off without having to worry about grappling.

As of this writing, BKFC 19 doesn’t have a location. Once a venue is locked down, fans are expected to attend. Keep it locked on FIGHT SPORTS for more details on BKFC 19 as more information becomes available.
