In 1999, Garcia (18-13-1 MMA, 2-1 BKFC) made his professional MMA debut and gave 21 years of his blood, sweat, and tears to combat sports competition up until his retirement earlier this year in March. With memorable fights in the UFC, WEC, Legacy FC, and most recently BKFC, Garcia has numerous exciting fights on his resume. Time catches up to everyone, and Garcia is grateful he can exit competition without a need to compete, whether it be mentally or finacially. “If you made a good career and you made right decisions in your life, you should have something to fall back on and that helped me a lot,” Garcia told MMA Junkie after BKFC 19. “I had something to fall back on and I had that support and I had everything else, so it’s like right now it’s just an itch, it’s not a need…I mean, once you’re a fighter, you’re always a fighter.

After the scores were read and the winner of her main event bout on Friday was revealed to be her opponent, VanZant stormed out of the ring, clearly upset with the outcome of the bout. After a hard-fought five-round battle against Ostovich, the former UFC strawweight and flyweight competitor found herself on the wrong end of the judges’ scorecards for the second time in a row in bareknuckle competition. VanZant did not attend the post-fight press conference to address the media. Instead, she offered a short picture message on Instagram following the fight.

The rematch of the UFC fight from January 2019 that VanZant won by submission was limited exclusively to fisticuffs, and in that element Ostovich thrived to get her revenge by unanimous decision.
