The hardest-hitting of heavyweights were in action to close out the night at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 6 in Biloxi, Mississippi on Friday night.
Fan favorite and The Ultimate Fighter 10 winner Roy “Big Country” Nelson was headlining the show, fighting for a shot at the promotion’s inaugural heavyweight title against fellow UFC ex-pat Alan Belcher.
Nelson had absolutely wrecked Dillon Cleckler at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 4 earlier this year, flat-lining the BKFC veteran with his infamous right hand. As for Belcher, he had run up an undefeated record in both boxing and bareknuckle boxing over the past couple of years, making him a genuine threat in the heavyweight division.
Featuring the full MMA ruleset minus gloves, the latest Gamebred card had a whole lot of recognizable names in action. In the co-main event, Jason Knight, a former UFC featherweight and recent TUF 31 standout, was paired up with New England’s Randy Costa. Former Bellator champ and UFC vet Hector Lombard, plus UFC alums Sasha Palatnikov, Chase Sherman, Brandon Davis, Alex Nicholson, Francisco Trinaldo and others were also in action.
