Alan Belcher Has Checked All The Boxes For His Homecoming Fight Against Roy Nelson

Alan Belcher looks to be the face of the bareknuckle heavyweight landscape in Biloxi, Mississippi on 10th November. ALAN BELCHER/COURTESY ALAN BELCHER.

BILOXI, Miss. — An eye injury in 2013 forced then, UFC middleweight veteran Alan Belcher into retirement. Belcher even admits to thinking his fighting days were over. After several years away from fighting and the resurgence of one of the oldest forms of combat, bareknuckle, Belcher has been on a tear. He’s currently undefeated, captured a heavyweight title, and will headline one of the biggest bareknuckle cards to date on Friday, November 10, against Roy Nelson for Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 6 in front of a rowdy hometown crowd in Biloxi, Mississippi. Belcher is currently flying high with 10 consecutive knockouts and looks to keeping that streak going against Nelson. Far from an easy task, as “Big Country” has proven to be one of the toughest guys to step into combat sports. Fans will be in for a treat as the two heavyweight sluggers lay it all on the line. 

“The Talent” talks to Zenger News about his recent success, Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 6, and much more.
