VanZant stunned fans in 2020 when she signed for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship after leaving the UFC.

She had two brutal bare-knuckle bouts - losing them both - before taking three years out.

But VanZant, 30, returned in May to make her boxing debut with Misfits, home to celebrity-style crossover bouts.

She was dropped by OnlyFans star Elle Brooke before clawing back a draw.

“Once I took the first one, I had all the confidence in the world.

“I was nervous going into it, but it’s more like just nerves that I don’t want to get knocked out.

Because you just don’t know what to expect. That’s the only real bad-case scenario that can happen.

"After I took the first one, I pretty much knew I was going to win.”
