However, ’12 Gauge’ was upset with people as they blamed her for pulling out from the bout. However, the reason she was not fighting at BKFC’s London card was something else. The ex-UFC athlete gave a statement about it on her social media handles.

Besides the caption, she posted a note, “I DID NOT PULL FROM MY FIGHT!!! I WAS PULLED! I AM PI*SED OFF AND HEARTBROKEN! I WORED MY F*CKING A*S OFF TO BE PULLED A WEEK BEFORE I AM SUPPOSED TO COMPETE!!!!!”
Even though the Bare Knuckle star gave the clarification. The fans didn’t appreciate it. Many questioned whether she was going to win. And some pointed out that after her husband’s loss at a Bellator event, she didn’t want to bring another loss to the VanZant clan. Although, many fans supported her as well.

Time to go to wrestling full time.

That’s terrible. What’s worse than being pulled out is these comments. Paige is a rockstar and had a great chance to win her fight. She trains hard. Million times harder than you twitter trolling donks.

Thanks for the update. This pisses us off too. I was really hyped for this fight. Going through a camp and weight cut to be pulled this close must really suck.

That sucks. Been waiting for this fight

VanZant is on a two-fight losing streak in the BKFC. Further, she is winless in the promotion. Thus, it was her chance to prove to the doubters that not only can she hang with the rest of the elite BKFC talents, but also outclass them.
The former Dancing with the Stars diva had two impressive showings against top talents in the promotion. BKFC President called VanZant’s London contest a must-win contest. Yet, the fight fell out. The next step between the promotion and the millionaire star would be interesting.
