Homasi’s orbital fracture required surgery, which he had planned with his own doctors. However, Bellator’s representative, Ian Matthews, allegedly asked him to postpone the surgery for several weeks. Frustrated by the lack of communication and support, Homasi proceeded with the surgery and paid for it himself, hoping to be reimbursed. However, Matthews failed to forward the receipts to the appropriate channels, leaving Homasi in a difficult financial situation.
Despite reaching out to Matthews, Homasi has received no response. It has been discovered that Matthews is no longer associated with Bellator or PFL, adding to the confusion surrounding the reimbursement process. Homasi, who was released by the promotion during the transition, is now in discussions with Gamebred Bareknuckle for his future fighting career.
The lack of reimbursement has left Homasi approximately $30,000 to $32,000 out of pocket, causing him significant concern. His manager is currently in contact with PFL, who have directed them to Viacomm. The situation highlights the importance of taking care of fighters and ensuring their well-being, considering the risks they undertake every time they step into the cage.
