Jorge Masvidal's promotional organization Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA has released the poster for their upcoming event. According to the report, Masvidal took out a significant bank loan to finance the event. The post includes an image of the event poster, though specific details about fighters or the event date are not provided in the text. This financial commitment demonstrates Masvidal's investment in growing his bareknuckle MMA promotion. The exact loan amount and other organizational details remain unspecified.
Jorge Masvidal is putting his own money on the line to grow his promotional venture, with reports indicating the former UFC welterweight contender took out a substantial bank loan to finance an upcoming Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event, the poster for which has already been released.
Masvidal, 41, compiled a 35-17 record over a lengthy career that took him through multiple major organizations before his UFC run made him a household name. Fighting out of American Top Team, the Miami-born Orthodox striker averaged 4.05 significant strikes landed per minute during his career, with a 47 percent striking accuracy. Known by the nickname "Gamebred," Masvidal has channeled that identity directly into his bareknuckle promotion, which operates under the Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA banner.
The decision to secure personal bank financing for the event signals a serious commitment to building the promotion from the ground up. Specific details about the card — including the fighters booked, the event date, and the size of the loan — have not been disclosed alongside the poster release.
Why it matters
- Masvidal is personally financing the event, indicating a hands-on ownership stake rather than a passive promotional role
- Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA is positioned as a vehicle to expand bareknuckle combat sports, a segment that has grown steadily in recent years
- The financial risk taken by a recognizable combat sports figure lends the promotion credibility and visibility it might not otherwise attract
