Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred FC continues to make waves in the world of combat sports. Recent reports reveal that Brazilian jiu-jitsu heavyweight sensation Nick Rodriguez received a notable contract offer from Masvidal to join Gamebred FC.
In a recent appearance on the JAXXON Podcast, hosted by former UFC champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Rodriguez shared details about the intriguing offer from Masvidal. Although the deal didn’t materialize, Rodriguez expressed openness to future possibilities, emphasizing the need for dedicated training in striking before considering a move into the cage.
While Rodriguez didn’t make an appearance under the Gamebred FC banner, the promotion has successfully attracted established MMA stars and former champions. Fighters like Junior Dos Santos and Fabricio Werdum have signed with Gamebred FC, contributing to the promotion’s growing reputation.
In the most recent Gamebred FC 6 event, hosted by Masvidal, spectators witnessed a thrilling showcase of talent.

The co-main event saw former UFC fighters Randy Costa and Jason Knight engage in a fierce battle, with ‘The Zohan’ securing a TKO victory in the first round. Additional highlights from the main card included Chase Sherman’s first-round victory over Carl Seumanutafa and Brandon Davis’ unanimous decision win against Joe Penafiel.
