Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix , light heavyweight titleholder Corey Anderson and featherweight kingpin Patricio Freire are upset about what they say is a lack of communication from the PFL .

Anderson ( 18-6 ), who hasn’t competed since he won the vacant 205-pound strap against Karl Moore in March , opened the floodgates Wednesday when he posted on social media that he’s been waiting for the phone to ring with information about his first title defense.

Freire ( 36-7 ), who has the most fights, wins and title fight victories in the Bellator brand, joined in with a complaint of his own Sunday .

PFL executives have yet to respond to any of the recent fighter complaints.

Former Bellator middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi was another high-profile fighter who opted to go public about his situation with Bellator earlier this year .

Longtime MMA coach Duke Roufus also recently issued a statement with concerns about the company's handling its athletes.
