Walking out of the Octagon and into the world of promotion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, the undefeated MMA phenom, unleashed a new wave of excitement in 2020 with the launch of his own MMA organization, Eagle FC. Expectations were through the roof when Nurmagomedov made this announcement a few years ago.

Moreover, the promotion’s early events showcased promising talent and delivered thrilling match-ups, capturing the essence of classic MMA. However, Eagle FC’s presence suddenly dwindled, leaving fans wondering about its fate. Fast forward to this day, Eagle FC has not put out any PPV in 2023.
