After shifting on from the UFC, Paige has achieved a little bit of the whole lot, together with bare-knuckle boxing … and it appears she could now have discovered a brand new dwelling in Energy Slap.
Competing alongside PVZ at Energy Slap 9 (which is able to stream at no cost on Rumble) … reigning heavyweight champion, Da Loopy Hawaiian (15-1, 13 KOs) vs. Vasilii “Dumpling” Kamotskii (1-0, 1 KO).
