Will Dunkle is back on The Gametime Guru.

Six years after his first appearance on the show, Will returns to talk about how his fighting journey has evolved from MMA into the world of bare knuckle boxing.

In this episode, Will shares what makes bare knuckle such a unique and dangerous combat sport, how he prepares mentally and physically for each fight, and what fans can expect as he gets ready for his Fusion Fight League matchup in Great Falls, Montana.

We talk about the mindset it takes to compete in a sport where every mistake matters, why Will embraces fighting in hostile territory, and how he uses losses as lessons that build character. He also breaks down his southpaw style, his trap-setting approach inside the ring, and the faith-driven mindset that keeps him grounded through the highs and lows of combat sports.

Will also discusses his upcoming bare knuckle fight against Dallas Davis on April 11, 2026, why this matchup matters, and how a win could elevate his position in the bare knuckle scene.

In this episode, we cover:
• Will Dunkle's transition from MMA to bare knuckle boxing
• What makes bare knuckle different from other combat sports
• Fight mindset, preparation, and mental toughness
• Competing in enemy territory
• Learning from losses in combat sports
• Faith, discipline, and staying ready
• His upcoming Fusion Fight League fight
