Sherdog.com brings news that Gegard Mousasi has left M-1 Global:
Gegard Mousasi Leaves M-1 Global
“After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to part ways with M-1 Global,” Mousasi wrote in the e-mail. “During the time I spent under their wing, M-1 Global, as a promoter and management company, allowed me to achieve many great things. I appreciate all they have done for me.”
M-1 Global, based out of Holland and Russia, had guided the Armenian-Dutch fighter’s career to two championship titles in the last few years.
The company also represents Fedor Emelianenko, the world’s No. 1-ranked heavyweight, who has publicly stated that he has an ownership stake in the organization, as well.
M-1 has always been a big sticking point in fighters like Fedor and Mousasi signing with the UFC. This clears one potential hurdle in Gegard making a huge move when his contract expires.
SB Nation will have more information on the situation as it becomes available.
