Rumored Khabib bought out Gorilla Fighting Championship

[Peli]

So, Khabib bought out GFC (Gorilla Fighting Championship) for 1 million $.
New promotion will be named Eagle Fighting Championship.
Fights will take place in Russia and former-Soviet states and in Middle East + Probably USA.
Deal will be announced on press conference on December 2.

This man needs to stop putting eagle on everything. lol. Nice though.

And.. this is how Khabib ends up broke and desperate for cash by 34, and coming back for paydays and getting his ass kicked by younger guys and long term health damaged at 35-40.

Soon Khamzat will create the Ultimate Smeshing Championship

If you want to know why Khabib is still in the testing pool, there's your answer.

The news may shed some light on the "something interesting" Khabib plans to discuss with UFC president Dana White, with a partnership with the UFC to have the newly-branded EFC shows streamed worldwide on UFC Fight Pass a distinct possibility.

Details of the deal are expected to be confirmed at Khabib's Dec. 2 press conference in Moscow.

Nice, Makhachev and Tukhugov will be champs in no time

 

[superpunch]

With M1 pretty much a local promotion maybe this EFC could be a way to scout russian fighters into the UFC.

Real smart move for khabib.

How'd M1 work out for Fedor hahaha. He had to come back at like 40+ tarnishing his legacy and health 'cause of that shit. News flash: All mma promotions that aren't the UFC lose money and go bankrupt.

ONE FC also has all their kickboxing, muay thai, MMA fights for free on their yt channel and website.

ONE is also in the red to the tune of $70million plus

Except M1 & Fedors managers were shady to begin with. Khabib seems much smarter and has already invested in gyms, clothing etc prior to retirement. Fedor got taken advantages of, Khabib not so much.

 

[jitzmonkey]

Waste of money.

Not if he's using it as a development league for his own fighters.

There’s a simpler reason why he’s in the testing pool. Michael Bisping explained pretty well on his podcast. Fighters when claim retirement are still in the pool because USADA doesn’t want these guys going crazy & cycling on roids just to return.

Better be real gorillas and not just a buncha roided up chimps

Better be real eagles and not just a buncha roided up pigeons

Khabib making boss business moves while Conor is hawking his rotgut whiskey that nobody likes. Khabib's now beaten him twice

why even bring up Conor? you guys are pathetic.

 

[Blayt7hh]

1 million seems like quite little for a company as big as GFC.

Yeah I’m thinking maybe he bought in as part owner or something

 

[GaryEric]

Can't wait until he buys the UFC and bans all of Conor's fight content.

good luck with that

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

New promotion will be named Eagle Fighting Championship.

He's just trying to get rid of all the gorillas he can

Good to see Khabib and Tom Green doing business.

Holy shit those eyes

 

[chiefwiggum]

yep he also launched a telecom company I believe, but sherdoggers told me he wasn't a draw and got paid less than 5 millions dollars by the UFC ...

Good for khabib. I’ve never heard of the promotion but he is massive in Russia.

khabibs fortune wasn’t amassed through cage fighting.

Exactly my point.
