UFC fighters have demonstrated their passion for fighting by extending their involvement beyond the confines of the octagon. They have taken charge and started their own promotions, becoming leaders in the fights themselves. Two prominent names that have notably ventured into this territory are Jorge Masvidal and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

‘The Eagle’ decided to retire from fighting in 2021 with an undefeated record. After his retirement, the former UFC lightweight champion refused to let his influence and success dwindle. Instead, he embarked on a new venture by initiating his own MMA promotion called Eagle FC. Although Eagle FC made its debut in 2020 and organized events in various locations, such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and even the United States, it didn’t gain the traction initially expected. However, the MMA community eagerly awaits the resurgence of Khabib’s promotion, yearning for its return to the spotlight.
