Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 7 is set to go down tomorrow night (Sat., March 2, 2024) inside KIA Center in Orlando, Florida featuring a Heavyweight title fight between former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veterans, Junior dos Santos and Alan Belcher.

Dos Santos — the former UFC Heavyweight champion of the world — is 1-0 under Jorge Masvidal’s promotion, defeating Fabricio Werdum via split-decision in Sept. 2023. That was “Cigano’s” first win since knocking out Derrick Lewis in March 2019 (see it again here). As for Belcher, he is also one-for-one with the upstart promotion, defeating Roy Nelson via split-decision in Nov. 2023. That was Belcher’s first taste of action in nearly a decade after leaving UFC with two straight defeats.
