Gegard Mousasi has an important fight coming up Saturday, but he's also waging another battle away from the Octagon.
The veteran MMA competitor has filed a lawsuit against his former sponsor Fear the Fighter and its president John Makdessi, Mousasi's UFC peer. Mousasi claims the company still owes him money, though he won't disclose how much.
Makdessi defended himself last week on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. The Canadian fighter said he was president of Fear the Fighter, but it was really run mostly by his brother David and others. Makdessi said he was "never" part of the business side and the company is currently being sold and reorganized.
