Gegard Mousasi frustrated by ‘radio silence’ from PFL, feeling pressured to ‘take a pay cut’

Gegard Mousasi hasn’t competed in 11 months, and currently sees no end in sight to his inactivity under Bellator’s new management with PFL.

Mousasi (49-9-2), a former Bellator and Strikeforce champion, last stepped into the cage in May when he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Fabian Edwards. He knew PFL’s acquisition was coming prior to it being made official, so he expected a transition period. However, it’s been a more challenging situation than he could have ever imagined.

Simply put, Mousasi has no idea the future of his fighting career. He said he currently has three fights remaining on the deal he signed with Bellator that was part of the PFL purchase, but feels like he’s been frozen out because ownership doesn’t want to make good on the terms of his contract.
