Paige VanZant competed in her second Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship fight this weekend at BKFC 19, and it once again did not go as planned.
VanZant suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rachel Ostovich in the pay-per-view main event, along with some badly bruised hands that she showed off on social media following the fight.
Despite the injuries, VanZant still had a smile on her face.
“My story is full of setbacks, road blocks and detours. But, it is also filled with major comebacks, peace in my soul and a grace that saved my life. I promise you this, I would endure this pain everyday of my life over the pain of regret,” the caption read. “I am going to keep chasing my dream one step at a time.
“…to anyone out there struggling. Pain is only for a moment. The world may be dark and love to hate on you, but darkness does not drive out darkness only light can do that. So DO NOT STOP SHINING!”
