Elle Brooke controversially DRAWS against Paige VanZant after knocking down ex-UFC star in thrilling OnlyFans battle
ELLE BROOKE fought to an epic draw against Paige VanZant despite scoring a big knockdown.
The pair of OnlyFans stars headlined on Misfits 15 in Houston, Texas and put on a thriller over five rounds.
Brooke, 26, got off to the perfect start by putting VanZant, 30, on the seat of her pants with a huge right hand in the opener.
But ex-UFC contender VanZant used her experienced to claw back to a split-decision draw.
She said afterwards: “I said it would be a tough fight, the whole camp. I knew how tough she was, I took the fight for a reason.
“I was excited, I watched her past fights I knew it would be tough. It is what it is it sets up the perfect rematch.”
Brooke believed she did enough to nick a win on the cards but credited former bare-knuckle boxer VanZant for her resilience.
She said: “I think I started strong but one of Paige’s best assets is she doesn’t let a bad round effect the next one, I think if anything she got stronger at the end of the fight whereas I dipped.”
After being floored in round one, VanZant came out in the second and landed a big left hook but took one in exchange.
Brooke scored with a flurry of shots in the third round to leave VanZant needing to turn things around in the final four minutes.

But the American rallied back in the fourth and fifth with the busier work between the two to take the bout to the cards.
And after all three judges failed to separate the pair, both called for a rematch.
VanZant said: “I signed a multi-fight contract for a reason, so yeah it looks like we’re going to do it one more time in Dubai it sounds like.”
And Brooke added: “I mean it’s one of those things, you have to rewatch it because when you’re in there you’re getting hit but you’re also hitting.
“I don’t think I’m experienced enough to think, ‘I’m 100 per cent winning this.’
“But because of the knockdown I can see me winning it but I’ll have to watch it back.
“I was just saying to Paige, we now we get a big money rematch! This is perfect.”
