Going into BKFC 19, fight fans had no idea what to expect during the main event between Paige VanZant and Rachael Ostovich.
While VanZant got the upper hand in their first fight during their previous run in the UFC in 2019, she had yet to taste victory as a bare-knuckle boxer. Ostovich, on the other hand, was not only looking for revenge but also to erase the memory of her submission loss in 2019.
But after five rounds of hard-fought action, it was Ostovich who emerged victorious with a bloody decision victory.
Below is how their fellow fighters reacted to the entire night of action in Tampa.
The courage and toughness these two young women have shown is tremendous. @rachaelostovich and @paigevanzant are doing their thing. 3-1 Rach! Honestly this is crazy and fun

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

Na I thought PVZ did more with tactical striking with hitting and not being hit

I’m confused on how Paige thought she won

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?
