Paige VanZant went face-to-face with her next opponent, Elle Brooke, ahead of their highly anticipated clash in The Lone Star State.
Emanating from NRG Arena in Houston, the MF & DAZN: X Series 15 event will be headlined by a title fight pitting Brooke, the reigning and defending Misfits Boxing women’s middleweight champion, against VanZant, a former UFC star turned BKFC brawler who will be making her pro boxing debut.

VanZant will be gunning for her first win since a January 2019 clash with Rachael Ostovich at UFC on ESPN 1.
After putting together a middling 5-4 record inside the Octagon, ’12 Gauge’ walked away from the promotion in pursuit of greener pastures. She found exactly what she was looking for with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, bagging a sizeable contract with the organization.
Unfortunately, VanZant has failed to live up to the hype, coming up short in back-to-back bouts against Britain Hart and a rematch with the aforementioned Ostovich. PVZ was scheduled to toe the line with Charisa Sigala in 2022, but the fight was inexplicably pulled from the promotion’s UK debut never to be rescheduled.
VanZant plans to give it one more go in the BKFC, but first, she’ll test out her skills in the sweet science against fellow OnlyFans model Elle Brooke.
Elle Brooke Promises Something Exciting for Her Weigh-In with Paige VanZant
Competing for both Kingpyn and Misfits Boxing, Brooke has quickly become a fan favorite on the influencer scene. In January, she earned a third-round finish against Andrea-Jane Bunker to become the MF middleweight queen. The fight against VanZant will be her first time defending the title.
The official weigh-ins for VanZant vs. Brooke are scheduled to go down on Friday, May 24 at 3 p.m. CDT.

Speaking with noKYC, the Portsmouth, England native plans to take a page out of Ebanie Bridges’ playbook and break the internet with a scantily clad showing during the festivities.
“For the weigh-in, it’s just me and Paige VanZant. I don’t care what she’s doing but I know I’m going to make it do mad numbers,” Brooke said.
“I might bring out a cute lingerie set but I think we’ll get loads of views anyway. I want to do something crazy! But when the fight is done I am going to party hard! I hear Houston clubs get really wild so I want to see what’s up! I haven’t had a drink since the beginning of February, so when these four months of sobriety have ended I’m going to have the best summer of my life.”
