Another former Bellator fighter has become the latest to make accusations of mismanagement or mistreatment from the PFL following the merger of the two promotions.
Sabah Homasi took to social media to ask fellow fighters if anyone has not been reimbursed for surgeries and hospitalization, implying that while Bellator offered such for fighters, the PFL is not.
Homasi was most recently in action at Bellator 299, two months before the merger’s announcement, getting knocked out Levan Chokheli. Homasi and Bellator parted ways a couple of months later, and was not picked up by the PFL after the merger.
Sabah Homasi The Latest Fighter To Speak Out About Issues With PFL
This is not the first time that fighters who competed in the previous Bellator regime have spoken out about issues with PFL now at the Bellator helm.
Earlier this week, former Bellator middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi criticized the PFL, claiming that he has received radio silence in regards to why he isn’t being booked for a fight. Mousasi says that Mike Kogan, former Bellator executive now with the PFL, suggested that Mousasi makes too much money.
PFL President Ray Sefo, responding to Mousasi’s allegations following the PFL’s card in Chicago, claims that Mousasi received an offer for a fight but turned it down.
Mousasi’s remarks about communication issues with the promotion also goes hand-in-hand with issues brought up by Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg, who has thrown several accusatory tweets the PFL’s way, claiming the promotion was purposely stalling on negotiations for a fight with PFL champion Larissa Pacheco.
Those issues may have reached their end, however, as Cyborg claims she and Pacheco are in agreement on a fight, with a date still to be announced.

Disappointing to hear… Wish Bellator never sold. PFL has been putting on better shows with some killer matchups since the buyout though. It’s troubling to hear how poorly PFL is ran though.
