Rachael Ostovich’s foray into the world of bare knuckle boxing was a success on Friday as she earned a redemptive victory over Paige VanZant in the BKFC 19 headliner.
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.
e fight took place at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Fla., and saw VanZant fell to 0-2 with BKFC after dropping her debut to Britain Hart in March.

I would like to see Racheal roll and throw a hook when Paige throws her jab. Paige keeps dropping her right

VanZant vs. Ostovich has been a lot of fun. It’s clear both worked really hard on their boxing coming in. And Ostovich has far, far exceeded expectations. #BKFC19

BKFC can be ugly and all that stuff. but the people who do it very well understand really interesting subtleties that get overlooked. There’s a different type of footwork, spacing and clinch work than you get in boxing or MMA.

Ostovich just CRACKED VanZant hard. Somehow PVZ didn’t go down. #BKFC19

I’ll give Paige VanZant some credit – she can take a square punch in the jaw and stay aware #BKFC

Wow that honestly was a great fight #BKFC19

Rachel 4-1, possibly 3-2 but can’t see PVZ taking this fight. #BKFC19

Daniel Cormier
I thought Ostivich won the fight pretty clearly. Why was Paige so upset that she stormed off?

Eryk Anders
I’m confused on how Paige thought she won 🤔

Angela Hill
Thought that was Rachel’s win by a long shot, power, precision, wobbled her big in the 4th. Good fight tho by both, the ladies did steal the show! (unless the champ wants a title fight right away) Bec vs Paige and Rachel vs Hart next?
