“He Will Never Financially Recover From That” – Fans React to Penalty Jorge Masvidal Had to Pay to Get His Promotion’s Name Changed

UFC star Jorge Masvidal announced his partnership with hip-hop artist Anuel AA in starting a new bare-knuckle fight promotion in 2021. The promotion was named the Gamebred Fighting Championship. But Masvidal’s company had to pay some money to rectify a spelling mistake in the promotion’s name.

‘Gamebred’ is no stranger to bare-knuckle fighting. He had participated in bare-knuckle bouts during his time as a street fighter. However, he met with an obstacle in the company’s registration process. They misspelled his promotion’s name and named it, ‘Gamebread Promotion’s LLC.”

Moreover, Masvidal’s company had to pay 25 dollars to rectify the mistake and rename it as “Gamebred Promotions, LLC.” His promotion is one of two notable organizations in the bare-knuckle fighting space. The other promotion, Bare Knuckle Fighting Champion (BKFC), is a much more prominent name in MMA.

The details regarding Masvidal’s company’s name change resurfaced on social media. Many MMA fans took the opportunity to express what they felt about the situation.

Fans react to Jorge Masvidal changing his promotion’s name

Fans on Twitter had a lot of creative and funny opinions about the name-change fiasco. Lets us look at some of the reactions from users on Twitter.

One Twitter user compared the name ‘Gamebread’ to the gaming console, Game Boy.

Another Twitter user hilariously edited Jorge Masvidal’s face into a loaf of bread.

An MMA fan took a jibe at the UFC welterweight fighter and claimed that the 25 dollars he paid for the name change will cripple him financially.

Another gaming console joke:

One fan believed that the name ‘Gambread’ was a perfect fit for a bakery company.

Another person thought ‘Gamebread’ was some kind of food.

A fan took a shot at Jorge Masvidal and claimed that his promotion will lose prominence very soon.

Fans did not seem to be bothered about the details regarding Masvidal’s new MMA promotion. But they sure left some sour comments online. However, this kind of blunder during the company registration process is a common occurrence.

Apart from his MMA promotion, Masvidal’s MMA career’s future hangs in the balance. He signed a new deal with the UFC in 2022. But the 38-year-old is on a 3-fight losing streak in Dana White’s promotion. His next fight against Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 will decide the trajectory of his MMA career. UFC 287 will also feature the rematch between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira for the UFC middleweight championship.
