He's lost his last two, but beat Rampage most recently back in 2017. I think he's also been out with injuries as well.

Coming into a cross-promotional championship match while on a losing streak in both promotions is pretty historically impressive.

They want a light heavy champ, these two are available, and Mo beat Jiri 4 years ago

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

So he's working for fighter relations of the company that stiffed all it's fighters? Interesting.

Or was that another bare knuckle league, gently caress, I can't keep track of the podunk freak show stuff.

The company that stiffed all of its fighters was based in Casper, Montana. This one appears to be based in Mexico, so it's probably more reliable.

FTFY. There's no Casper in Montana, and Montana's MMA promotions are actually decent and fighter friendly for the most part.

That's the one Rumble is working with, Bare Knuckle FC is the "good one". The other one is World Series of Bare Knuckle or something like that, and Bas Rutten is president of whatever is left of it

Is there any context to that fight other than the ref not seeing the towel being thrown in and someone from the corner stupidly jumping in to try to stop it?

That sure escalated quickly for no reason if there isn't. Like Conor vs Khabib levels of quickly.

The ref didn't see the towel, and when the one fighter's corner visibly climbed the cage I assume the other fighter's corner did the same offscreen because they thought something stupid would happen, and the combination of it all caused something stupid to happen anyway

As far as I know it was just the towel, but if someone follows German MMA they can maybe provide more details.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't know of there was extreme bad blood between the fighters or what the way it all went crazy.

I hadn't thought about it until Kimbo's reply but Davis has been vocal about his problems with Mayweather (who is his promoter) so there is a nonzero chance if this somehow happens that Floyd is setting up Tank to get kicked to death.
