Misfits Boxing (MFB) and DAZN teamed up to deliver an incredible show at Houston's NRG Arena on Saturday, May 25. The MF & DAZN X Series 15 fight card was stacked with fantastic athletes, but the main event – MFB’s Women’s Middleweight Title Fight between OnlyFans’ own Elle Brooke and Paige VanZant – was a bout combat sports fans won’t soon forget. Read on for our recap of all five rounds of Brooke and VanZant’s showdown.
MF & DAZN X Series 15: Brooke vs. VanZant
Round One
Elle Brooke, often underestimated despite holding her own in previous influencer matchups, proved she wasn't messing around from the moment the fight began.
Paige VanZant, the overwhelming favorite, came out aggressively, delivering combinations aimed at intimidating Brooke. The strategy was clear: overwhelm Brooke with her MMA and Bare Knuckle Boxing experience.
However, after withstanding a few flurries, Brooke fired back, signaling that VanZant needed to stay on guard. In a swift move, Brooke landed a brutal hook to VanZant’s jaw, reminiscent of her knockout of AJ Bunker, sending VanZant crumpling to the mat.
Round Two
In round two, VanZant's experience and technique began to shine. Unrattled by her round one knockdown, VanZant used her jab to keep Brooke at bay for most of the round.
VanZant landed several punishing combinations, but credit to Brooke for taking them all and holding her ground. This round was easily scored in VanZant’s favor.
Round Three
With her corner urging her to stay on the attack, VanZant landed a few well-timed jabs on Brooke. However, it was Brooke who landed the bigger blows.
In the final ten seconds, Brooke delivered several serious shots to VanZant’s chin, securing the round in her favor.
Round Four
In the fourth round, VanZant landed a serious uppercut that drew blood from Brooke.
VanZant’s sheer volume of attacks was staggering—never over-committing, always shifting weight between her feet, and never giving Brooke too big of a target.
The fourth round clearly belonged to VanZant.
Round Five
The fight was up for grabs heading into the fifth and final round, with Brooke taking rounds one and three, and VanZant winning rounds two and four.
As the more experienced fighter, VanZant was able to keep her composure while Brooke faded slightly.
VanZant dominated the volume of punches, but Brooke still landed back-to-back shots to her opponent’s jawline.
The Result
As the fight concluded, it was anyone’s guess who had won. One thing was clear: this fight was among the best in Misfits Boxing’s history. Despite VanZant’s experience as a bare knuckle fighter, Brooke transformed it into a battle of volume versus power.
Above all, Brooke proved she belonged in the ring with the legendary VanZant. She demonstrated impressive stamina, fitness, and strength.
Fittingly, the fight ended in a split draw: 48-46 (Brooke), 48-46 (VanZant), and 47-47. For now, Elle Brooke keeps her Middleweight title belt.
But given the fight's clear success, fans might expect to see a rematch in the near future.
