Masvidal made a name for himself in his own period while Tyson dominated his with his use of force and quick knockouts. These two knockout champions sat down with DJ Whoo Kid on a recent podcast episode of “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” and the result was nothing short of electrifying. Despite their pleasant banter, there was unmistakable respect in it.
Together with hip-hop musician Anuel AA, UFC star Jorge Masvidal just began his bare-knuckle MMA promotion. Jorge Masvidal’s 52-fight career came to a disappointing end in April when he was defeated by Gilbert Burns in a lopsided decision at UFC 287. ‘Gamebred’ was persuaded by his fourth straight defeat that he was no longer capable of competing against the top fighters in the welterweight class.

At UFC 239 in Las Vegas, Jorge Masvidal’s fight wasn’t just another one. It was a statement that reverberated throughout the MMA scene. Ben Askren was taken off guard by Masvidal’s flying knee, which knocked him out in less than five seconds. Not only is this quick, but it’s also historically unheard of in UFC. A wide range of responses were expected in the wake of such a remarkable achievement, especially in light of Tyson’s illustrious fights.
Jorge Masvidal founded the promotion known as Gamebred boxing. He also competes in the Gamebred Fighting Championship and iKON FC. Jorge Masvidal is the sole owner of gamebred boxing. He has also advertised events on a number of programmes.
Masvidal aspired to become a promoter and offer seasoned and up-and-coming UFC fighters opportunities. The recently released Gamebred Boxing card was strong because it featured well-known athletes.
Many fighters have to consider their post-fight plans. We all know that some people go into commentary, while others launch their own businesses or become teachers at prestigious gyms. Jorge Masvidal founded his own company, and as the organisation expands, the fight cards get better and better. All the rules are almost the same as that of UFC and Boxing. Masvidal says he cannot do some wild stuff. “It is just Bare Knuckle but MMA.”
Mike Tyson, seems to also want to try his luck with Bare Knuckle, but only if he gets paid well. When asked to Mike Tyson if Bare Knuckles is more ruthless than boxing by his co-host, Mike says he assumes that if the rules are almost the same, it might not be very difficult, he also adds the word, “Guaranteed Blood” saying nothing’s guaranteed, and mentions an instance where he had knocked out his opponent in just a few seconds as soon as the bout began.
