And her facial injuries were laid bare in the post-fight interview as she spoke out with a severely swollen face.
Shah sported a battered and bruised face – but still insisted she enjoyed the experience.
She said: “After the first round, I realised that she was a lot tougher than I was expecting.
“Although I expected her to be tough I just expected her to show a bit more tiredness.
“It didn’t go the way I wanted but I was still happy that I went all the five rounds.
“Even though I don’t look like it, I enjoyed the whole process and I enjoy being in the ring and challenging myself.”
Hart shot to recognition by beating Paige VanZant in 2021 and has since gone 8-3 in the BKFC ring.
She even knocked out Shah’s TEETH during their bout but her battered rival appears open to a rematch.
Shah said: “If I could fight Brit again, I think what I’d do is – although I fought the way I like to fight, I backed off more than maybe I should have.
“And I’d probably try to do other things I wouldn’t normally do.”
