VanZant started competing in MMA as a pro in 2012 and amassed a record of 8-5. She lost 4 of 6 last bouts in the UFC and did not extend her contract with the organization. 12 Gauge signed a multi-million dollar deal with BKFC instead. Paige revealed that she was a fan of BKFC and did not want to miss an opportunity of joining Bare Knuckle.

Paige believes that she will show off her striking skills at BKFC events. She attributes her losses in the UFC to a lack of grappling skills. BKFC contestants wear special gloves that leave knuckles exposed. Therefore, they often get deep cuts, scrapes and bruises. However, 12 Gauge is not afraid of hurting her face. She is going to have plastic surgery in case she gets much damage.
