PAIGE VANZANT's fight with Charis Sigala was a do-or-die, bare-knuckle match that ended just days before fight night.
Former UFC star, she was scheduled to face her fellow MMA fighter in Saturday's co-main event at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship London debut.
Paige VanZant's brawl with Charisa Sigala was called off
VanZant and Sigala were scheduled to clash in Saturday's co-main event at BKFC London.
VanZant vented on Twitter her anger at the cancellation.
The fight was called off for unknown reasons.
The 28-year old wrote last night on Instagram: "My fight has ended.
"This is not from me or my team. I was ready to fight and thrilled.
"Hope to hear news soon. Heartbroken."
VanZant, furious, added later: "THIS IS OUT of MY CONTROL!" !
"I WENT A ENTIRE CAMP WITH WEIGHT CUT TO BE PULLED A WOEEK OUT!" !"
After a hard start to her career in the promotion, VanZant hoped VanZant would win her maiden victory under the BKFC banner at Wembley Arena.
She stated that she did not withdraw from her fight !!!!. I was pulled!
"I am pissed and heartbroken.
"I worked my f***ing arse to be pulled a week prior to I am supposed to participate."
After being released from UFC, VanZant signed a multi-fight contract with BKFC.
The American Top Team star has had a rough time in BKFC, with both of her promotions ending in failure.
VanZant lost her debut to Britain Hart in February and suffered the same fate in a rematch last July with Rachael Ostovich, a former UFC star.
The skid also made her London clash with Sigala, now cancelled, a must-win for Dave Feldman, chief of BKFC.
He stated to GiveMeSport that Paige would lose her career as a bare-knuckle artist.
"It's true, she gave an interview and stated that there wasn't any pressure to fight.
"So, you see, if she doesn't feel pressured, then she might be very confident.
"But, you'll know, I can’t keep saying after each fight, we’ll see how she does.
"And that's the reason she didn't do well at this fight. If she doesn’t win, or look at least very, very good, then it's likely she's at the end her bare-knuckle career."
