A new MMA promotion: Global Fighting League is shaking things up, stacking its roster with battle-tested veterans like Tony Ferguson and Tyron Woodley while also locking in headline-grabbers like Dillon Danis and Paige VanZant. With a mix of legit legends and controversy magnets, fans are buzzing about the kind of matchups this could lead to. GFL founder Darren Owen just added fuel to the fire, teasing a potential Ferguson vs. Danis showdown.
After dropping a record eight straight fights in the UFC, former interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson has found a new home in GFL. Fans have been wondering who he’ll face first, and the promotion’s founder just dropped a wild possibility—Ferguson vs. Conor McGregor’s longtime teammate, Dillon Danis, could actually happen.
He said, “We can make the fights that people want to see, and we’re listening to everybody. Tony Ferguson vs. Dillon Danis, that may be something that will come to fruition.”
For those who don’t know, Danis is a former IBJJF brown belt gold medalist with just two MMA fights, both wins in Bellator, and the last he was in the news for fighting was when he fought a boxing bout against Logan Paul. While Ferguson has a huge advantage in experience, a fight between them would grab plenty of eyeballs.

That’s why, even after eight straight losses, many still hoped for a comeback. The UFC has officially updated its roster, confirming Tony Ferguson’s release. His legendary run, filled with extreme highs and crushing lows, has come to an end.
