Bare Knuckle FC president David Feldman doesn’t expect Paige VanZant to throw in the towel on fighting for his promotion despite falling short in her debut. VanZant suffered a unanimous decision loss to Britain Hart in their 125-pound bout on Friday, which served as the “BKFC: KnuckleMania” main event at Bert’s Barracuda Harley-Davidson in Clearwater, Fla. She lost four of five rounds on the scorecards, but did not suffer significant damage. Feldman could only say positive things about “12 Gauge” after the fact. Bringing her in was a massive signing for his organization, and he said her presence resonated across all tangible metrics, with the event trending to do “very, very well” on pay-per-view. Although VanZant didn’t get her desired outcome, Feldman said he doesn’t think she looked out of place against Hart, who edged her in both professional and bare knuckle boxing experience.
