Khabib Nurmagomedov is an excellent team leader and a role model for the fighters from Eagle’s MMA. He has conducted himself brilliantly both inside and outside the octagon. Nurmagomedov is extremely helpful as a teammate and has a legion of fighters under him who he promotes using his platform. 

‘The Eagle’ recently bought Gorilla Fighting Championship, which he then rebranded as Eagle Fighting championship. 

He continued, “I wanted to discuss the number of title defenses an EFC fighter needs to get into the UFC. When we sign fighters, we would like the organization to follow them into the UFC. For example, a guy signs for six fights, if he wins and defends his title a few times we’ll get him a UFC contract. Then after he signs we’ll handle his affairs. It’s no secret everyone wants to get into the UFC. Other promotions want their fighters to stay. I don’t want that, I want EFC to be a launchpad into the world stage.”

It will be interesting to see if ‘The Eagle’ can replicate his success in the octagon as a businessman. Do you see Eagle Fighting Championships thriving?
