Karrion Kross Reveals He Was On The Verge Of Signing A Three Fight Deal With Bareknuckle Boxing Organization

Karrion Kross almost transitioned over to Barenuckle Boxing when he was released by WWE.

Speaking on WWE After The Bell, Kross revealed that he nearly got involved in fighting with Bareknuckle Boxing.

“Here’s some breaking news. Daniel Gracie, who is one of our head instructors for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he was encouraging me to re-locate to Philadelphia and fight in UFC. On top of that, while that was going on, I was speaking to David Feldman from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and I was on the verge of taking a three-fight deal. On top of that, we were getting involved in television projects and movies and stuff like that. It’s kind of funny how it all worked out. It kept getting pushed back for delays and had it not, and we signed on, there is a really good chance we may have not been able to come back when we got the call.”
