Former mixed style (MMA) fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about plans for his own promotion of Eagle FC in the new 2022. The interview with the Russian was published on the ESPN MMA YouTube channel.
Nurmagomedov, 33, said that Eagle FC will host an event in Miami at the end of January 2022. “This will be a major tournament. Three or four star fighters, with whom we recently signed contracts, will perform at it. I don’t want to advertise names yet. We will hold a big press conference on this matter, ”he said.
He also noted that Eagle FC will get bigger in the new year. Nurmagomedov plans to expand the roster. The promotion will sign 50 new athletes. Among them are those who previously played in leading organizations – in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Bellator. The Russian himself is a former UFC lightweight champion.
Eagle FC is based on Gorilla FC. In November 2020, Nurmagomedov became the owner of the promotion and re-branded.
