Rachael Ostovich never wanted to drop out of her upcoming fight against Paige VanZant in January and now she’s been cleared to compete on Jan. 19 in Brooklyn.

Ostovich’s manager Brian Butler of Suckerpunch Entertainment confirmed on Tuesday that she was back in the fight against VanZant after originally dropping out due to injuries she suffered in a recent assault. ESPN initially reported the news. 

Ostovich was taken to the hospital in the early morning hours of Nov. 18 after she was allegedly attacked by her husband Arnold Berdon, who was later arrested and charged with second-degree felony assault. Berdon later pled not guilty in court but remains unable to make contact with his wife or child due to a restraining order that was granted to Ostovich following the alleged assault. 

According to the statement from her management team at the time, Ostovich suffered a broken orbital bone and other injuries as a result of the assault and she would no longer be able to compete in January.

Ostovich sought a second opinion with her physicians and now she’s been cleared to return to action for her fight against VanZant on Jan. 19.

VanZant also celebrated the news on Tuesday while showing support to Ostovich for the situation she’s dealing with at home.
