Britain Hart is fast becoming the face of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship - the unapologetic combat sport that proves again and again that it is the bloodiest show in town.

The American fighter turned her combat sports career around during the pandemic, rebounding from a split decision boxing loss to Shurretta Metcalf in February 2020, with a first-round win over Kiam Wabik months later.

Hart then embarked on an absolute tear through bare knuckle competition, picking up three successive victories in the sport, including a unanimous decision win over popular prizefighter Paige VanZant.

On November 12, Hart returned to the bare knuckle ring for a BKFC 22 event at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida, and scored her fourth successive win in the unforgiving sport.

Outside of competition even fight weeks in bare knuckle are extraordinary to behold. Ahead of her November 12 bout, Hart verbally jabbed her opponent Pearl Gonzalez about having "fake tits."

According to the New York Post, Gonzalez began by saying: "Sit your ass down, looking busted with your fake ass Louis Vuitton. Sit yo ass down, bitch."

Hart said: "My fake ass Louis Vuitton, at least it's not two fake ass pair of tits, that you can't even compete in."

Responding, Gonzalez said: "I bet your man wants to see them too. He was in my DMs [direct messages]."

The fight itself was even wilder as both swung fists at each other with reckless abandon, causing significant damage.

Hart had to survive a ghastly cut that bled all over her face to score the victory with scorecards of 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46.

MMA reporter Eric Kowal of MyMMANews.com observed that Hart gave the middle finger to Gonzalez's corner after the final bell, prompting Hart's husband Joey Beltran, an MMA fighter, to enter the ring.

Kowal said: "Ref controls the melee before anything serious occurs."

Gonzalez posted an emotional video message to her supporters on Instagram following a loss that could have gone her way on another day.

Showing her bruised face, Gonzalez said: "I had an amazing time out there. I didn't choose fighting - fighting chose me. There's nothing better than the feeling of being inside a fight.

"I didn't get the decision I wanted, shit happens, this is life. I'll tell you one thing: I will never give up on myself.

She later added: "I love you guys, thank you for supporting me. This was my last bare knuckle fight."
