‘I was almost going broke fighting in MMA’: Rachael Ostovich says BKFC far more lucrative

Rachael Ostovich reveals she’s received offers for both bare-knuckle and MMA, but her choice will depend on the numbers.

[autotag]Rachael Ostovich[/autotag][autotag] has received offers for both bare-knuckle boxing and MMA, but her choice will depend on the numbers.

A former UFC women’s flyweight and “The Ultimate Fighter 26” cast member, Ostovich (4-6 MMA) tried her hand(s) at bare-knuckle boxing earlier this year after 10 pro MMA fights. The 30-year-old transitioned in July and defeated Paige VanZant in a five-round battle at BKFC 19.

Although she found success in her BKFC debut, Ostovich said it’s not a guarantee she’ll be back. Her next move will solely be based on which sport pays her more.

“I had some injuries after the fight, it’s definitely different from MMA,” Ostovich told MMA Junkie Radio of her BKFC win. “I’ve had some offers, but I’m kinda waiting on the negotiations between my manager and the promotions, so bare-knuckle is of interest. But it’s if the numbers match then yeah … I’m still down for MMA and there have been offers from MMA, but at this point, I’m kinda just waiting to see what makes the most money here so that’s where I’m at.”

She continued, “They both have their pros and cons, so it really is just money talks for me right now.”

Ostovich says she got paid more in bare-knuckle than she ever did in MMA, where she was barely making ends meet. That type of upside will be hard to ignore when making a final decision, she said.

“I would return to MMA, just right now BKFC is really hot right now and they pay me really good so that’s where I’ll be,” Ostovich said. “MMA is a lot and I felt like I was almost going broke fighting in MMA, so BKFC is where I’m at for right now and hopefully we can get on the same page (for a contract).”

Rising contender Jamahal Hill happy to see Glover Teixeira rewarded with UFC gold

Jamahal Hill doesn’t shy away from the mic, but has nothing but respect for newly crowned light heavyweight champ Glover Teixeira.

[autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] doesn’t shy away from the mic, but has nothing but respect for [autotag]Glover Teixeira[/autotag].

Teixeira (33-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC), 42, became the oldest first-time UFC champion in history when he submitted Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267 in October. Hill is a light heavyweight contender on the rise, and although he wants what Teixeira has, he has the utmost respect for the new champ.

Not only did Teixeira make history, but he showed great resolve throughout his career by turning a rough two-year patch (2016-2018) into a six-fight winning streak, en route to winning the title.

“I’m 100 percent a fan,” Hill told MMA Junkie Radio. “I think it was great, I’m happy for Glover Teixeira, I’m happy that he won. That’s a guy that’s been around the game and my man is 42 years old. He’s been paying his dues in the game and it’s good to see somebody like that rewarded with that exclamation point in his legacy, a championship. It looks like he’s not willing to give it up, he’s ready to fight for it and that’s nice because you got a lot of takers want to come take what you got. I’m one of them.”

Hill (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will look to rebound from his first-career loss to Paul Craig when he meets Jimmy Crute (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 31 on Dec. 4. The event takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas with a main card that airs on ESPN following prelims on ESPN+.

Jamahal Hill confident he has best hands in the UFC: There’s nobody that I haven’t been able to touch at will

When debating the best boxer in the UFC, Jamahal Hill wants his name thrown in the hat.

When debating the best boxer in the UFC, [autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] wants his name thrown in the hat.

Hill’s lone loss came in his last outing when he dislocated his arm against Paul Craig at UFC 263 in what was deemed a TKO loss. Hill (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was caught in a triangle armbar and fought hard to get out, but Craig would not let go. His arm was dislocated and Craig kept raining strikes until the referee intervened and stopped the fight.

Prior to that, “Sweet Dreams” was able to live up to his nickname when he sparked Ovince Saint Preux and he has no doubt that he can stand and trade with anyone in the sport.

“That’s across the board,” Hill told MMA Junkie Radio on being the best boxer. “I’ve seen everybody and it’s just what I do, the work I put in, and the things that I know I’m able to do. There are guys that I’m impressed by, there are guys that I learn from. I’m also willing to adapt, I’m also willing to switch things up, change things up. I can change my game up in many different ways, especially when it comes to throwing hands. There’s never been anybody that I haven’t been able to touch at will and there’s never been anybody that just lit me up. I’ve never been lit up before.”

Hill’s confidence hasn’t wavered after suffering his first career defeat. The 30-year-old is looking to pick up right where he left off when he faces Jimmy Crute (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 31 on Dec. 4.

“I think a win here just puts me right back on track,” Hill said. “Right back to where we were before the last result and COVID and everything else that came along with this year. Just get back on track, get back to winning ways and just keep building.”

He continued, “Hopefully me headlining some of these pay-per-views. Bigger bag, bigger check. I’m trying to get up there. I’m just outside the top 10. A win over Jimmy Crute, I’m probably knocking inside the top 10 and just build from there. Everything is going to come, we just gotta stay focused on what we got, what we can control, and that’s winning and dominating.”
