After a split draw in her return to competitive combat sports earlier this year, Paige VanZant hoped for a rematch against Elle Brooke.
Misfits Boxing might be on board with it, too. The promotion seemed to be in the immediate aftermath of MF & DAZN: X Series 15 in Houston, where VanZant and champ Brooke each got a 48-46 score in the five-round fight. A third judge scored the bout a 47-47 draw.
The fight was VanZant’s first combat sports outing since a unanimous decision loss in a bareknuckle boxing bout against Rachael Ostovich at BKFC 19 in July 2021. Although she has been competitive in her last four outings across MMA, boxing and bareknuckle, VanZant has not won a fight since she submitted Ostovich in January 2019 in the UFC. She tried her hand, literally, at Power Slap recently and picked up a win.
Brooke is a social media influencer and OnlyFans model who crossed over into boxing. VanZant took the opposite route, but has said in recent months that she made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than she did in her entire UFC career, which spanned nine fights over around six years.
While a rematch isn’t official, the social media stars are part of a third episode of OnlyFans TV’s “Rise & Grind,” which looks back at their fight in Houston. Look back at the first fight behind the scenes in the video from OnlyFans TV.
