The first main event will feature the former UFC Featherweight Jason Knight who will take on Charles Bennett. However, the ‘BMF’, who is already looking ahead, plans to organize more such events after GFC 1.

GFC 1 main event comparison between Jason Knight and Charles Bennett

Jason Knight is twenty-eight years old with a 21-6 professional MMA record. The orthodox fighter stands at 5’10”. Meanwhile, his opponent, Charles Bennett (41) stands at 5’5″. ‘Felony’, who has a 30-41 record, fights with a similar orthodox style like his opponent Jason Knight.

Looking at their resumes and considering that MMA rules will be followed, Knight looks like a better fighter between the two. ‘The Kid’ Jason Knight will enjoy a significant reach advantage over his opponent. Hence, he will make it hard for Bennett to score.
