Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Fighting Championship is set to stage a bare-knuckle MMA event on April 11, with the full fight card already released ahead of the show.
The promotion, founded by Masvidal and named after his longtime nickname, operates under standard MMA rules with one key distinction: fighters compete without gloves. The format strips away the padding typically associated with the sport, placing a greater premium on striking precision and defensive awareness inside the cage.
Masvidal himself carries considerable credibility as the face of the promotion. The 41-year-old American, who trains out of American Top Team and holds a professional record of 35 wins and 17 losses, built his UFC career as one of the more technically sharp strikers in the welterweight division. He averaged 4.05 significant strikes landed per minute during his career at an accuracy rate of 47 percent, numbers that reflect both his output and his ability to find a home for his shots.
Why it matters
- The bare-knuckle MMA format continues to grow as a distinct niche, and GFC remains one of its more prominent platforms
- Masvidal's name recognition brings mainstream attention to a format that still sits outside the sport's mainstream
- The full card being confirmed ahead of the event gives fans and media time to preview the matchups
The event will be streamed live on the GFC YouTube channel, making it freely accessible to a global audience. The card gets under way at 02:00 Moscow time on April 11.
