Flex Fight Series CEO Chris Macchi parts ways with MMA Island as title sponsor due to ‘shady business dealings’ with Kevin Varghese.

Macchi: “We are going to have to, at this time, part ways with MMA Island due to the sole owner and stakeholder, Kevin Varghese. [From him there have been] shady business dealings and lack of transparency and also some legal litigation going on.

“We believe at Flex Fight Series that it is time to part ways. Let this be a little bit of void of caution for anyone that Kevin might be reaching out to in the space of combat sports from one business owner to another, I would say definitely tread carefully when doing business with him.

“There is a situation where we can potentially go back into business with MMA Island if the original owner Chris Santiago decides to take legal action, which I believe he is doing. If it's returned to his rightful hands, I'd love to continue that relationship. I believe MMA Island is a great brand, unfortunately it was just purchased by the wrong person. But we are hearing rumblings that [De Santiago] has voided that contract as well. That being said, at this time we do have to part ways.”

Ben Askren doesn’t think Paddy Pimblett won at , but liked the way he ‘sold it’ in his post-fight interview 🗣 (via , h/t: )

“He didn’t win that fight. But I love what he did. When he got the mic he said, ‘it wasn’t even close!’… I loved it, he sold it.

“I think you can confuse fans, some fans aren’t as educated. So I think there’s two ways to go with it: you could go the super honest route like, ‘Wow! I didn’t think I was gonna win, I was shocked.’ Or you could go, ‘I won for sure.’

“I think he’s got that little McGregor, Uber cocky type of thing and so, I think it worked. I think that’s what early McGregor would have done also.”
