Former UFC star and featherweight champion Jose Aldo will be a big attraction for ‘Gamebred’s promotion. Masvidal‘s success in the UFC, particularly his highlight reel knockout of Ben Askren in 2019, helped to increase the popularity of the “Gamebred Boxing” brand. It has also helped to position him as one of the most exciting and marketable fighters in the sport.
The “Gamebred Boxing” philosophy emphasizes a combination of traditional boxing techniques and the street fighting experience that Masvidal gained growing up in Miami. The goal is to develop a complete fighter who can adapt to any situation and effectively defend themselves.
