Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 5 is headlined by a Heavyweight rematch between former UFC Champions and MMA legends Junior dos Santos and Fabricio Werdum. The two men’s first fight came in 2008, in what was dos Santos’ UFC debut. In a stunning upset, JDS knocked Werdum out to begin his rapid rise to the UFC Heavyweight Championship. In the 15 years since that bout, the two men have gone on to further cement their places amongst the best fighters in the division’s history.
Now, towards the end of their illustrious careers, dos Santos and Werdum rematch in Bare Knuckle MMA, a variation of the sport neither have fought in before. The smaller gloves will likely favour dos Santos, who has always been known for his blistering knockout style. But if the fight goes to the ground, Werdum has a chance against anyone, remarkably boasting submissions over Cain Velasquez, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Fedor Emelianenko.
