Tony Ferguson returns to MMA in Los Angeles this May

Tony Ferguson is set to return to mixed martial arts (MMA) with the Global Fight League (GFL) in late May. He will fight Dillon Danis, who is preparing for a boxing match against KSI on March 29. This matchup has excited MMA fans, especially since Ferguson recently stepped away from the UFC after losing eight matches in a row. The GFL is gearing up to hold its debut events on May 24 and 25 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The California State Athletic Commission has approved the events and the promotion's license. Alongside Ferguson versus Danis, other notable fights will include Uriah Faber against Renan Barao and a trilogy fight between Benson Henderson and Anthony Pettis. Faber, a former featherweight champion, faced challenges in the UFC, while Barao is a previous champion who lost his title in 2014. Pettis and Henderson have a storied rivalry dating back to their first match in 2010. The card also features Douglas Lima going up against Uriah Hall, another former UFC fighter. Fans are reacting positively to the announcement of these matches. Excitement is building as GFL prepares for its first events. The promotion aims to revolutionize MMA by offering fighters a fair revenue-sharing model and incentives for success. Overall, the upcoming GFL card promises to deliver thrilling action for MMA enthusiasts.
