Gegard Mousasi, a Netherlands-born MMA fighter, recently expressed his frustrations with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He expressed his dissatisfaction with the organization’s negotiation tactics, claiming that they were pressuring him to take a pay cut instead of fulfilling their contractual obligation to arrange fights.
During an interview with MMA Fighting, Mousasi said, “The problem is we cannot get ahold of them.” He also added, “They refuse to answer us back. I’ve been training, and I’ve been ready. But like I said, they don’t promote me, or people think I’m actually retired.”
Mousasi addressed his issues in the media when the PFL did not respond to his remarks during the interview or announce fights. He saw this as his sole way to contact an organization that ignored his demands.
Gegard Mousasi wants to make it clear to the combat sports world that he is still active, even though he hasn’t fought in almost a year. It seems that people have forgotten when he last participated in combat sports.
When was the last bout that Gegard Mousasi was in?
Gegard Mousasi has been absent from the fighting scene for nearly a year, following his last appearance at Bellator 296. Unfortunately, he faced defeat in the main event against Fabian Edwards, with the judges reaching a unanimous decision.
The match was a crucial middleweight title eliminator, with the victor earning the opportunity to challenge the current Bellator middleweight champion, Johnny Eblen. Edwards delivered a remarkable victory by skillfully controlling the tempo of the match and securing an opportunity to compete for the championship.
Mousasi’s loss to Edwards is another setback in his MMA career, adding to his ongoing challenges in the sport. However, he still needs to demonstrate his abilities.
Will PFL provide him with an opportunity to showcase his potential to the world?
