After retiring from professional fighting, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been working on his other businesses. One of them is an MMA promotion in Russia, the Eagle FC. Previously named Gorilla FC, ‘The Eagle’ renamed it after his moniker and built this promotion to launch excellent fighters from Russia.

As Eagle FC has gained immense popularity, the promotion will make its American debut with Eagle FC 44 next month in Miami. The first press conference of the event will take place in Miami on December 15th. Ahead of the event, ‘The Eagle’ appeared in an interview with Red Corner MMA.

Nurmagomedov gave a few insights from his upcoming event and also explained why Eagle FC will differ from other MMA promotions. He said, “This is not about how big we gonna make some. We wanna make a little bit different than other leagues.”

“We gonna make like some weights may be different like some system wanna change. Not everything, like some small things maybe. Not small things like we gonna do like some other, we gonna use other may be systems from other sports, you know.”
