Review of Masvidal's Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event features Russian fighters

A review of Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event featuring Smith vs Sherman revealed a relatively lackluster card despite expectations for extreme violence. Two Russian fighters competed: Nikolai Kovalenko (11-2) lost by disqualification after dominating early but fading, while Denis Petrov (1-1) secured a knockout victory. Former UFC fighters Anthony Smith, Chase Sherman, Luis Pena, and Thiago Santos all competed, with Smith returning from retirement with a fully blacked-out arm tattoo and defeating Sherman. The reviewer concluded the event had mediocre production quality and mostly boring fights, expressing doubt about the format's future despite its novelty.
