The first match for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport has been revealed.
In one month, the fifteenth installment of Bloodsport will take place in Las Vegas as part of The Collective, and the match-ups are now starting to roll out. In its first announcement, they announced that WWE’s Pete Dunne will face Masashi Takeda.
For our first match-up announcement, we see a bout between an MMA born, “Crazy Kid” taking on a Catch based, “Bruiserweight.”
A kind of match up you’ll not see anywhere else, and a fight you know is going to set the ring on fire.
