- Elle Brooke started boxing just two years ago and was competing in her fifth fight.
- VanZant, meanwhile, competed in the UFC and also participated in bare knuckle fights.
- The clash was the main event of MF & DAZN: X Series 15, held in Houston, Texas.
Former world champion Ebanie Bridges was outraged by the outcome of Elle Brooke’s fight against Paige VanZant on Saturday night.
The influencers fought in a five-round bout in Houston, Texas, for the MFB women’s middleweight title.
Despite defeating the former UFC fighter in the first round, Brooke had to settle for a draw, a decision Bridges believes was motivated by money.
‘We’re here with Elle. I tore it apart,” she said. ‘I’m very proud of her. I think she won, I think the tie is silly.
‘They just want to make money. They just want to make money because they want to see him again. Oh my baby! You are the best.’

VanZant, by contrast, competed in the UFC between 2013 and 2020, winning five of her nine fights before signing a deal worth more than £750,000 to fight exclusively for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
He lost both of his fights in the promotion before expressing his desire to return to MMA, but appeared sporadically in the AEW wrestling promotion between 2021 and 2022.
The 30-year-old said: “I said it would be a tough fight, the whole camp.” I knew how tough she was, I took the fight for a reason.
“I was excited, I watched their past fights and knew it would be difficult. That’s what sets up the perfect rematch.”
