Kevin Lee will make his Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA debut against Saul Almeida at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 8 on November 15 in Biloxi, Mississippi.


Kevin Lee’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA debut is officially set. Exciting times ahead!

The promotion announced on Tuesday that the one-time UFC interim lightweight title challenger will face Saul Almeida. This bout will take place at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 8 on Nov. 15 at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi.

Lee, who makes his MMA return on Friday night for Lights Out Championship, is staying busy. He’s taking the gloves off for the first time. After parting ways with the UFC following 18 promotional bouts and a one-fight stop at Eagle FC, Lee returned to the octagon. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Rinat Fakhretdinov in under a minute at UFC Vegas 76 in July 2023. “Motown Phenom” went 11-8 over two stints in the UFC.

Almeida is no stranger to the ring either. A Bellator and WSOF veteran, he has 34 pro MMA bouts on his record. The Massachusetts native seeks his first MMA victory since a third-round TKO win in October 2018 for New England regional promotion AMMO Fight League.

Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 8 is headlined by an inaugural bantamweight title fight. Past UFC opponents Randy Costa and Brandon Davis will clash in this thrilling main event.

Mark your calendars!
