The Gamebred Fighting Championship took place at Unrivaled Arena in Miami, showcasing a packed card of bare-knuckle MMA contests. The event was set to be headlined by the highly anticipated return of former UFC and Bellator fighter Yoel Romero. However, Romero’s original opponent, Hector Lombard, was forced to withdraw from the fight for unspecified reasons.
Stepping in on short notice to face Romero in the main event was Alex Nicholson, a seasoned fighter with seven bouts in the PFL. Nicholson, nicknamed ‘The Spartan,’ has faced recent challenges, having lost his last three fights, all in the first round.
