Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred FC has inked a broadcast deal with DAZN with all future events airing on the streaming platform live and free to subscribers.
The partnership was announced on Saturday night during the Teofimo Lopez vs. Rolly Romero event, which was also airing on DAZN.
Gamebred FC is bare-knuckle MMA, which operates under the standard unified rules of MMA, but there are no gloves worn by the competitors. Along with the new broadcast partnership, the next four events for Gamebred FC was also announced.
Gamebred FC on Sept. 12 from Russia
Gamebred FC on Oct. 2 from the Dominican Republic
Gamebred FC on Oct. 30 from Miami, Fla.
Gamebred FC on Dec. 12 from Miami, Fla.
“This is the moment we built Gamebred FC for,” Masvidal said in a press release. "We built this sport to be the rawest, most honest version of MMA there is — bare knuckles, full rules, real fighters, nowhere to hide. Now, with DAZN, that goes in front of fight fans in every corner of the planet.
“This isn’t just a broadcast deal — this is the start of the next chapter for Gamebred FC.”
Previously, Gamebred FC events aired on YouTube but now the upstart promotion joins DAZN where numerous combat sports promotions also call home.
The new broadcast deal comes together as Gamebred FC seeks to continue a pair of World Grand Prix tournaments at heavyweight and lightweight with the winners of each earning a $500,000 prize. The next matchups in each respective tournament are expected to be announced in the coming weeks with the Russia card next up on Sept. 12.
4 man tournament. Big Country, JDS,Yoel ,Alan Belcher. Arlovski could be a substitute
That blows i loved gamebred.
Have fun behind that 40 dollar a month or whatever the fuck they charge now.
I think a regular DAZN subscription is still under $30.
I’m a DAZN Ultimate subscriber, though, so it costs me $44.95, but I think it’s well worth the price, because it includes at least one major PPV each month. Lately there have been two per month.
For boxing
this is quite an impressive development. jorge must have quite the team alongside him. i thought this was going to be a very effective way of bankrupting himself within a year when it started.

“I’ve been talking to the UFC,” Masvidal said.
“Could be this year, could be early next year. We’ve been talking for a little bit, and the numbers are getting closer and closer and better and better. So there might be some big news coming soon. Nothing worth mentioning yet; waiting for the right names and stuff.
“Once they give me the right name and the right number attached to that, you’ll see your boy right back over here at the T-Mobile Arena,” Masvidal continued. “Leon (Edwards) is definitely somebody that I would like to get back in (with) and just close that chapter out.”
Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards has three consecutive fights, including most recently against Carlos Prates at UFC 322. Masvidal and Edwards were involved in a viral, backstage brawl after sharing a UFC card in London in March 2019.
DAZN making moves left and right but I don’t think I know anyone who actually pays for their content.
