Jorge Masvidal just made a big announcement for his Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA promotion, and it involves a surprising return: Anthony Smith is stepping back into combat sports after retiring about 1011 months ago. In this video, we talk about why bare-knuckle formats are so different from gloveswhy you have to be more selective with punches, and how breaking your hands is a real risk if you land wrong. We also react to Masvidals teaser interview clip and explain how Smith previously sounded genuinely relieved and happy after retirement, focusing on analyst work and potentially commentary. Then I share a personal perspective on why stepping away from an intense grind can feel great at first, but later create an itch to compete again. Finally, we break down the matchup: Smith vs former UFC heavyweight Chase Sherman, and why Shermans existing Gamebred bare-knuckle experience makes him a meaningful test right away.
