Video: Are BKFC and Eagle FC the hot new MMA free agent landing spots?

There used to be a fairly limited set of destinations for MMA free agents not that long ago.

If a fighter left Bellator, chances are it was for the UFC. If someone was out of the UFC, there was a good bet Bellator would be the new destination. Beyond that, there was the PFL or ONE Championship among the majors.

But these days, there are two more players that have helped make the free agent landscape a whole new ballgame. Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Eagle FC has landed in the U.S. and already has brought on big names. And in the bareknuckle world, BKFC regularly lands former UFC and Bellator fighters.

But are those two promotions built to last in the long term for fighters looking for a new home? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Nolan King, Danny Segura and Matthew Wells discussed that with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
