“Many people ask what happened. I fought for money all year and didn’t work,” Agapova added. “I didn’t get much money for the last fight, and my bare-knuckle fight in December was cancelled. So, I ended up on the street and without money. I’ve been in poverty for several years. Out of desperation, I signed up for bare-knuckle.”
The 27-year-old fighter who was born in Kazakhstan was released from UFC contract after going 2-4 with the promotion.
She had signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and was set to compete BKFC on DAZN 3 this weekend but that bout was cancelled after a failed search for an opponent.
