The launch of the network became known in January 2022. At that time, a source close to the company assured that the company developing this business, M-it Group Franchising LLC, was associated with the Russian UFC mixed martial arts champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. This was confirmed by a friend of the athlete himself. His photo is also on the M-Eat by Khabib page on one of the social networks. But, according to SPARK-Interfax, the 100% owner of M-it Franchise Group is businessman Vladimir Khoroshilov. It was not possible to contact him. Nurmagomedov did not answer the call of the Vedomosti correspondent.
