A review of Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event featured two Russian competitors with mixed results. Nikolai Kovalenko (11-2), known from RCC and Titans productions, dominated early before tiring and losing by disqualification. Denis Petrov (1-1) secured a knockout victory despite nearly being finished himself. The event also featured former UFC fighters including Anthony Smith, who returned from retirement with a fully blacked-out arm tattoo to defeat Chase Sherman. Luis Pena won by submission after a groin strike, Thiago Santos controlled his opponent, and Ray Cooper III delivered the event's only spectacular knockout. Overall, the reviewer found the event disappointing with mediocre production quality and mostly lackluster fights.
