Sherman and Nicholson both had an underwhelming run during their respective time with the UFC. However, they also both found a new lease on life in bareknuckle boxing through Gamebred.
The KO win saw Sherman improving his record to 18-12. On the other hand, Nicholson suffered the 11th defeat of his career.
Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 7 was a spectacle
Indeed, Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 7 was a massive success as seven of the eight fights in the card ended by way of finishes. Apart from Sherman’s KO win over Nicholson, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos also brutalized his opponent Alex Belcher to win the promotion’s heavyweight title.
