Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson is set for his return to action in a GFL (Global Fight League) debut outing, taking on former Bellator MMA grappling prospect, Dillon Danis at an event yet to be determined later this year.
Ferguson, a former interim lightweight titleholder during his lengthy tenure with the UFC, most recently ended his Octagon tenure in a record-setting eighth-straight loss in a first round rear-naked choke loss to Michael Chiesa back in the summer of last year in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
As for Danis, the former two-fight Bellator MMA alum is set for his return to mixed martial arts competition for the first time since racking up a first round armbar submission win over Max Humphrey back in 2019.
