Sabah Homasi’s career has rejuvenated after a tumultuous year with the PFL. Following PFL’s acquisition of Bellator in late 2023, Homasi found himself without a promotion and embroiled in financial disputes. The fighter claimed he was owed approximately $25,000 in unpaid medical bills from his final Bellator fight, with PFL blaming Bellator’s former owners at Paramount for the debt.
“[The past year] wasn’t the greatest, let’s just say that,” Homasi admitted.
But he has since found a new path, debuting successfully with BKFC, where he achieved a second-round knockout in his first bout. Homasi described his experience with BKFC as refreshing, praising the organization’s professionalism and care for fighters.
“It feels good to be a part of an organization that actually takes care of their fighters,” he said.
BKFC President Dave Feldman also received high marks from Homasi, who is eager to continue his journey in bare-knuckle boxing.
In sharp contrast, Homasi didn’t hold back on his criticism of PFL, accusing the organization of mismanagement and financial negligence. He pointed to widespread roster cuts after the Bellator acquisition, contradicting PFL co-founder Donn Davis’s earlier promise that all fighters would remain under contract. Homasi labeled the situation as “a huge disservice to veteran fighters.”
Homasi also aimed at PFL’s operational inefficiencies, advising fighters to exercise caution.
“Get it while there’s still water in the well because that f*cking well is going to run dry,” he warned.
Despite the bitterness, Homasi is focused on his future in BKFC. He’s eyeing high-profile matchups with Mike Perry and Brennan Ward. Reflecting on a past loss to Ward while battling diverticulitis, Homasi is eager to run it back under better circumstances.
With newfound stability and a clear path forward, Homasi is ready to leave the PFL drama behind. As he envisions his next steps, his partnership with BKFC seems to be the fresh start he needs to reignite his career.
