Paige signing with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship isn't exactly surprising, rumors of a deal have been around since the end on July.  Her banking over a million dollars on the deal is.

She did want more money and now she has it.  Be careful what you wish for.  Bare knuckle fighting is a different animal.

I only hope they put her in fights with tomato cans.  She's too good looking to be taking big time bare knuckle shots to the face.
