Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA Announces Co-Promotion with RCC Hard

Jorge Masvidal’s promotion, Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA, has announced a new co-promotional partnership with Russian bare-knuckle boxing organization RCC Hard. The collaboration is set to feature a card highlighting multiple former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veterans.

The upcoming event structure will feature a unique format, with the fight card split evenly between bare-knuckle MMA and traditional bare-knuckle boxing contests. The event will be headlined by a matchup featuring Ivan Shtyrkov against Vagab Vagabov, bringing together notable names from the regional circuit.

While Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA has previously focused on its signature bare-knuckle format, this venture into a co-promotional model with RCC Hard represents an expansion of its reach. The promotion continues to leverage the presence of fighters with significant experience in high-level global organizations, aiming to provide a platform for hybrid striking and ground combat. Additional details regarding the event’s start time, official date, and host venue are expected to be finalized as the promotional build-up continues. This partnership marks a strategic pivot for Masvidal’s brand as it incorporates international assets into its domestic operations.
