Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA has been putting on some of the biggest bouts outside the UFC in recent years, and its owner and creator Jorge Masvidal thinks the promotion is now up to par with the likes of PFL and Bellator. Masvidal, the original BMF champion and UFC star, has been slowly transitioning into a promoter role as he winds down his fighting career. Through Gamebred Promotions, Masvidal has been putting on boxing, bareknuckle boxing, and primarily bareknuckle MMA with big names in the sport. Notable fighters such as Junior Dos Santos, Fabricio Werdum, Anthony Pettis, Alan Belcher, Roy Nelson, and others are just some of the names that have fought under his banner. With several events and fights crossing the million views threshold on YouTube – where the fights stream – and having recognized names, Masvidal feels comfortable saying his promotion is now formidable competition in the MMA space
