The former top-ranked UFC bantamweight Jimmie Rivera has found a new home with a fresh start for the combat sports veteran.
It was announced by his manager Malki Kawa of First Round Management that the New Yorker was signing with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Kawa announced it on “The Schmo” on Monday but no details as far as contract length or opponent were disclosed during the interview.
Rivera had been a free agent for most of 2021 after last fighting Pedro Munhoz at UFC Vegas 20 back in February.
