Jorge Masvidal announced huge news for the fight fans ahead of the press conference for UFC 261. The Gamebred is starting his own Bre Knuckle fighting promotion.
The BMF Jorge Masvidal announced on social media that The Gamebred Fighting Championship will be launched on June 25 and it will be sponsored by Anuel. Masvidal stated:
“Huge news for true fight fans as me and the on and only Anuel have teamed up to bring you the most vicious fights we could think of Bare Knuckle MMA,” wrote Masvidal, who included footage from his early days as a street fighter. “That’s right no gloves same rules and the first fight will be in Miami on June 25.
Every fighter will be outfitted by ANuel’s clothing brand which translated in English means “Real Until Death” Gamebred Fighting Championship”.
Jorge Masvidal aims to find the next big thing
Jorge Masvidal won’t be the first fighter to launch his own MMA promotion. Chael Sonnen launched “The Submission Underground” back in 2016. Recently, Khabib Nurmagomedov launched his promotion “Eagle MMA”. But, The Gamebred fighting championship has a lot more potential.
Jorge Masvidal is the example that a fighter can make it from the street to the biggest stage in MMA. From fighting in Miami’s backyards to fighting at MSG, Jorge Masvidal has some unbelievable accomplishments in MMA. And now he searches for the next Jorge Masvidal and the next Kimbo Slice with the help of this promotion. Recently Masvidal talked about his fight promotion on social media and said:
“Since I’ve been shadow banned and censured I decided to start my own platform and bring not only never before seen content but I will also be traveling the world looking for the next Kimbo rip or street fighter”
It does not seem that Dana White and UFC has any dispute with Masvidal starting his MMA promotion. Whether it will be available on UFC fight pass or not is yet to be announced. But, very likely it will be an independent promotion. When asked about getting tips and suggestions for the greatest fight promoter in the game, Dana White, Jorge Masvidal said:
“I don’t think he is going to give those tips out for free. But yeah, it’s the bare-knuckles what I started in, I am just looking for the next great street fighter that wants to make it through the rankings and go all the way to the professional rankings, follow the footsteps of Kimbo and Me. Nothing too crazy just pure violence.”
