Jorge Masvidal has released the poster for his upcoming Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA tournament. According to the post, Masvidal took out a significant bank loan to organize this event. The Gamebred promotion continues Masvidal's venture into bareknuckle MMA competition outside of traditional gloved fighting.

Specific fight details, dates, and participants on the card were not mentioned in this brief announcement.
Jorge Masvidal has revealed the official poster for his next Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event, signaling that his promotional venture outside of traditional gloved competition is pressing forward with serious financial backing behind it.
Masvidal, 41, is putting more than his reputation on the line for the show. According to his announcement, the American Top Team product took out a significant bank loan to fund the event, underscoring the personal financial risk he is absorbing to keep the promotion alive and growing. No fight card details, participants, or dates were included in the initial poster release.
The Miami-born fighter, who carries a 35-17-0 professional record and built his name as one of welterweight's most dangerous strikers, launched Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA as an extension of his post-UFC identity. Standing five-foot-eleven with a 74-inch reach, Masvidal averaged 4.05 significant strikes landed per minute across his UFC career at a 47 percent striking accuracy clip — numbers that reflect the aggressive, crowd-pleasing style that made "Gamebred" a household name and now serves as the brand identity for his promotional company.
Why it matters
- Masvidal is personally financing the event through a bank loan, raising the stakes beyond a typical promotional announcement
- The Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA series represents a growing niche in combat sports that sits outside the regulatory structure of major gloved promotions
- Full card details have not been disclosed, meaning the competitive and business picture will come into sharper focus as the event date approaches
