Gegard Mousasi is keeping with a personal credo to mind his own business.
The 24-year-old Strikeforce light heavyweight champion recently parted
ways with M-1 Global, the promotional and management company that
assisted his rise to prominence in the mixed martial arts world. The
departure was first reported Friday by Sherdog.com.
Mousasi’s longtime manager, Apy Echteld, on Friday told MMAjunkie.com that the decision to leave was made when an M-1
executive elected not to sign a long-term management proposal that
would have given the Dutch-Armenian fighter “lifetime security” – a
deal similar to one held by Fedor Emelianenko.
