Paige VanZant "p***** off and heartbroken" after bare-knuckle fight is cancelled

Paige VanZant has been pulled out of her bare-knuckle fight against Charis Sigala at BKFC London this Saturday but insists the decision was out of her control.

Former UFC star VanZant was looking to pick up her first bare-knuckle win against Sigala at the event having lost her first two fights. She signed a multi-million dollar deal with BKFC two years ago, but hasn't hit the ground running in the promotion after losing decisions to Britain Hart and Rachael Ostovich.

'12 Gauge' was scheduled to compete in the co-main event of BKFC London this Saturday at the Wembley Arena and she admitted she was "heartbroken" after being withdrawn from the event. "I did not pull [out] from my fight!!!! I was pulled! I am p***ed off and heartbroken. I [worked] my f****ng a** off to be pulled a week before I am supposed to compete," she wrote.
