Gegard Mousasi, current Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, revealed Friday on his official website that he has split with M-1 Global.

“After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to part ways with M-1 Global,” Mousasi wrote. “During the time I spent under their wing, M-1 Global, as a promoter and management company, allowed me to achieve many great things. I appreciate all they have done for me. My management is being taken care of by someone close to me and I am looking forward to continuing my fight career and defending my STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title in 2010 and win the lhw gp in Dream.”

Mousasi is expected to next put his belt on the line against Muhammad “King Mo” Lawal on the CBS-televised Strikeforce event in April.
