A fighter recently used strong language against PFL when speaking about his experience with the organization. The person also conveyed his appreciation for BKFC, of which Conor McGregor owns a portion.
The person in question is former Bellator welterweight fighter Sabah Homasi, who had a contentious relationship with the PFL when the latter acquired Bellator last year. Homasi found himself in trouble after being denied money for medical bills incurred during his last Bellator appearance, as PFL blamed the previous owners, claiming it was their obligation.
However, Homasi's problem was solved when he signed with the BKFC and faced Eduardo Peralta at BKFC on DAZN 3 on Dec. 21 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The 36-year-old put on a dominant display and knocked out Peralta in the second round with a vicious right hand.

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Homasi bashed PFL and expressed his gratitude towards BKFC founder David Feldman, saying:
''[The past year] wasn’t the greatest, let’s just say that. We ended on a great note. That’s all that matters. Between PFL acquiring Bellator, which was super shi**y and just not fighting for over a year...They still owe me like $25,000, maybe more, I’m still waiting on this sh*t.''
Homasi added:
''Dave Feldman’s a great guy. Met him, chopped it up with him a bit. He’s amazing. I’m looking forward to my future with BKFC. It feels good to be a part of an organization that actually takes care of their fighters. Not like f*cking shi*ty a*s PFL.” [H/t: MMA Fighting]
Apart from Bellator, Homasi competed in the UFC thrice, losing all three bouts.
Sabah Homasi reacts to fighters' issue at PFL
Sabah Homasi is not the only one who has expressed dissatisfaction with the PFL. Former UFC fighter Corey Anderson, current Bellator featherweight champion Patrício Pitbull, and Patchy Mix have also criticized PFL founder Donn Davis.
In the aforementioned interview with MMA Fighting, Sabah Homasi expressed his thoughts on fighters seeking release from the PFL, saying:
''That’s because they can’t afford to pay these fighters...Now these fighters aren’t fighting. They’re sidelined because [PFL] doesn’t want to have to pay the f*cking money that they negotiated to fight with. It’s f*cking ridiculous. I’m afraid to see these guys in public because I don’t even know how I’m going to act. These guys are pieces of sh*t.” [H/t: MMA Fighting]
