Now retired UFC star Jorge Masvidal had his Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA fight card go down tonight (May 5th) from Fort Lauderdale, Florida with a handful of familiar faces from long ago. The marquee matchup of the evening was UFC/Bellator veteran Roy Nelson making his bare knuckle debut against someone with fewer fights, but more bare knuckle experience, Dillon Cleckler.
For the co-main event, PFL veteran Emiliano Sordi met ex-UFC fighter Markus Perez. There were also several other notable names from MMA history, such as former UFC welterweight Anthony Njokuani, former UFC heavyweight Carl Seumanutafa, and even the 43-year-old longtime MMA menace, Charles Bennett.
The Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA entire event went down at the FLA Live Arena.
