BKFC pulls Paige VanZandt fight from this weekend's show

[Chris]

Paige VanZant will no longer be competing at BKFC 27.

The 28-year-old was scheduled to face Charisa Sigala on Saturday's card from London but BKFC announced on Tuesday that the fight has been pulled from the show.

MMA Junkie is reporting that VanZant vs. Sigala was removed from the event in order to headline the company's show on October 15. Other reports suggest the fight was pulled due to "logistical concerns in London" and could be moved to November.

VanZant posted to social media to express her frustration with the fight being postponed.

“THIS IS OUT OF MY CONTROL!!!” VanZant wrote. “I WENT AN ENTITE CAMP AND WEIGHT CUT TO BE PULLED A WEEK OUT!!!! I DID NOT PULL FROM MY FIGHT!!!! I WAS PULLED! I AM PISSED OFF AND HEARTBROKEN! I [WORKED] MY F—KING ASS OFF TO BE PULLED A WEEK BEFORE I AM SUPPOSED TO COMPETE!!!!!!”

MMA reporter John Morgan responded to VanZant's comments and confirmed it was not PVZ's decision for the fight to be postponed.

"Spoke to a person with knowledge of the decision that confirmed this was a difficult decision made by the organization, not PVZ, due to some logistical concerns in London. Told despite an October date being announced for the reschedule, November possible, as well."
