Tony Ferguson reveals date, location for GFL debut fight with Dillon Danis this year

Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson has revealed he will make his GFL (Global Fight League) debut outing on May 11. of this year in Los Angeles, California — following news late last month that he would be taking on Dillon Danis in his promotional bow.

Ferguson, a perennial contender during his lengthy lightweight run with the UFC, and a victor of The Ultimate Fighter, ended his storybook tenure with the Octagon-hosted promotion at the beginning of this year.
