She hinted that she couldn't wait to get back in the squared circle as she captioned the post: "Blessed, thankful and focused!!"
The former UFC flyweight signed with BKFC back in 2020 after exiting Dana White's promotion.
She's lost both of her fights since her transition to bare-knuckle fighting - to Britain Hart and Rachael Ostovich.
There had been rumours that she could quit BKFC after signing a deal with wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling earlier this month.
But VanZant told : "I’m not done yet. I know people saw me going into it as a terrible career move and there was all the negativity and the shock of me signing with bare-knuckle boxing.
"Yeah, I did go 0-2. I need to come out there, I need to get some wins under my belt. Those losses even though losing is terrible, I just had so much fun."
VanZant's opponent for her July 9 bout in London is yet to be revealed.
