Maness targets bare-knuckle title after UFC exit

    Nate Maness has left the UFC and reportedly signed with a bare-knuckle promotion, according to a Jan. 29, 2026 report.

    He is 2-0 in the new organization with two stoppage wins and is being positioned toward a title run.

    Promoters have mentioned an April return date, with a title shot reportedly being discussed for later in the summer if he secures another decisive victory.

    Maness is also running a newly opened Mayhem MMA gym in Henderson, Kentucky while pursuing the belt.

    He is said to favor striker-style matchups and is open to facing notable names as he builds toward contention.
