Who had Tony Ferguson vs. Dillon Danis on their 2025 MMA bingo card?
Earlier this month, the Global Fight League hosted its first-ever live draft where hundreds of mixed martial artists were vying for the opportunity to secure one of 20 spots on six different ‘city’ teams: Dubai, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Sao Paulo.
Perhaps the biggest name taken in the draft was Ferguson, who recently ended his 13-year-run with the UFC amid an eight-fight winless streak. El Cucuy‘ was taken as the third overall pick for Team Los Angeles, but according to GFL founder Darren Owen, the promotion could ultimately choose to trade fighters, negating the entire purpose of the draft in order to facilitate certain fights.
