The PFL has announced the release of former Bellator middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi following a contractual dispute turned public. One day after Mousasi (49-9-2) called the promotion “the worst organization” and threatened legal action in an interview with “ The MMA Hour ,” PFL Head of Fighter Operations Mike Kogan released a statement on social media announcing the roster move. “Bellator has released Gegard Mousasi from his agreement,” Kogan wrote. “We wish him all the best fighting in his next chapter.” While Mousasi has yet to comment publicly on the situation, his manager Nima Safapour, of Moments Management, referred to the release as “alleged” and disputed PFL’s “fighter first” mantra. “We will not comment on the merits of the alleged release at this time for obvious reasons,” Safapour said in a written statement provided to MMA Junkie.
