Jorge Masvidal's bare-knuckle MMA promotion Gamebred FC has secured a broadcast deal with DAZN, bringing all future events to the platform live and free for subscribers. The partnership was announced publicly during the Teofimo Lopez versus Rolly Romero card on DAZN, giving the deal significant visibility at a high-profile combat sports event.
Masvidal, the 41-year-old American fighter and promoter, built Gamebred FC around the bare-knuckle MMA format he has championed since transitioning toward promotional work. The Miami-born veteran holds a professional record of 35 wins and 17 losses and spent much of his fighting career competing out of American Top Team. Now operating on the business side, he is using the Gamebred brand to carve out a distinct lane in the combat sports landscape.
Along with the DAZN announcement, Gamebred FC revealed a busy schedule of four upcoming events. The promotion heads to Russia on September 12, then the Dominican Republic on October 2, before returning to Miami on October 30 and again on December 12. The international footprint signals an ambition to grow the brand well beyond its Florida roots.
Why it matters
- DAZN distribution puts Gamebred FC in front of a large existing subscriber base without an added pay-per-view cost, lowering the barrier for new fans.
- The four-event slate across three countries in roughly three months represents an aggressive expansion push for the young promotion.
- Both the heavyweight and lightweight World Grand Prix tournaments continue under this arrangement, each offering a $500,000 prize that gives the competition genuine stakes for top bare-knuckle MMA talent.
