Page Vanzant is a fan favorite name who fought in BKFC against Rachael Ostovich in 2021. After parting ways with the UFC, Vanzant went to BKFC. The need for Vanzant to fight wasn’t all that much according to her as she is earning well outside of fighting.
The former force in the featherweight division of the UFC Chad Mendez fought in BKFC against Eddie Alvarez. The outcome wasnt the one Mendez would like but his career was a good one. He has retired from the game of fighting after his recent fight with Alvarez.
The underground King Eddie Alvarez went to one championship after parting ways with the UFC. Eddie Alvarez and Demetrious Johnson were the two big names that left UFC and went to One championship. Alvarez won his fight against Chad Mendez and we might get to see the underground kind again in BKFC.
