Watch combat sports on DAZN
Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA has a new global home, with Jorge Masvidal's all-action combat sports promotion coming to DAZN.
Fans around the world will be able to watch Gamebred MMA live on DAZN as the platform adds another promotion to its growing combat sports offering.
Founded by former UFC star Masvidal, Gamebred MMA brings a distinctive twist to mixed martial arts, with fighters competing without gloves while retaining the wider ruleset that separates MMA from traditional bare-knuckle boxing.
But what exactly is Gamebred MMA, how does it work and how can you watch it on DAZN?
What is Gamebred MMA?
Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA is a combat sports promotion founded by former UFC star Jorge Masvidal.
The promotion combines bare-knuckle fighting with MMA, meaning competitors fight without gloves but are able to use many of the techniques associated with traditional mixed martial arts.
That means Gamebred is not simply bare-knuckle boxing. Fighters can strike, kick, grapple, score takedowns and look for submissions, creating a very different proposition from conventional boxing.
Gamebred has also attracted a number of recognisable names from the MMA world, with experienced fighters given the opportunity to compete under its distinctive ruleset.

Gamebred MMA was founded by Jorge Masvidal, one of the most recognisable fighters of his generation.
Masvidal spent almost two decades competing professionally and fought across several major promotions before becoming one of the UFC's biggest stars.
He became particularly well known for his aggressive fighting style and recorded notable victories over fighters including Nate Diaz, Darren Till and Ben Askren.
Masvidal's victory over Askren in 2019 remains one of the most famous moments in UFC history, with his flying knee ending the contest after just five seconds.
The "Gamebred" name itself has long been associated with Masvidal and became the natural identity for his move into combat sports promotion.
What are the rules of Gamebred MMA?
The defining feature of Gamebred MMA is simple: MMA without gloves.
Unlike bare-knuckle boxing, competitors are not restricted to punches. The promotion allows fighters to utilise a broader range of MMA techniques, including kicks, takedowns, grappling and submissions.
The result combines the bare-knuckle element with the varied skill set and different routes to victory found in MMA.
