Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA’s next event is taking shape with a few familiar UFC veterans on the card.
On Nov. 15 at Mississippi Coast Colosseum in Biloxi, Miss., Greg Hardy will make his bareknuckle MMA debut in a heavyweight bout against Chase Sherman. The promotion announced the fight between the UFC vets on social media Friday.
The controversial Hardy (7-5 MMA) returns to MMA, although the gloveless variety, for the first time since his UFC exit in 2022. During his time with the promotion, Hardy put together a 4-5 record with one no contest. His final UFC bout was a TKO loss to Serghei Spivac at UFC 272, and has been dabbling in boxing with mixed results, including one bareknuckle boxing appearance.
Hardy now enters his bareknuckle MMA debut against Sherman (16-12 MMA), who has competed under the ruleset twice.
Following his UFC exit in May 2023 after a unanimous decision loss to Karl Williams, Sherman has fought in Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA twice. His debut was a first-round TKO of Carl Seumanutafa in November 2023, and he followed that up with another opening-frame finish of Alex Nicholson in March.
The promotion has announced a number of bouts for the card over recent days, including a bantamweight title fight between UFC veterans Randy Costa and Brandon Davis.
The current Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA lineup includes:
- Randy Costa vs. Brandon Davis – for bantamweight title
- Greg Hardy vs. Chase Sherman
- Peter Barrett vs. Charles Rosa
- Jason Knight vs. Josh Weems
