‘Hick Diaz’ Takes a Detour

Jason Knight put his mixed martial arts career on the back burner to focus on another pursuit: Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. The promotion revolves around former MMA brawlers looking to just stand and sling fists, and Knight is the latest fighter from the fraternity to temporarily change addresses. However, his decision to partake in the boxing-based sport was more about staying active while preparing for an eventual return to MMA.

After rattling off four straight wins in the Ultimate Fighting Championship between July 23, 2016 and May 13, 2017, Knight learned how to spend his money like a victorious fighter in the sport’s most prominent organization.
