Tony Ferguson is set to fight Dillon Danis at an upcoming GFL event, despite his recent UFC departure and eight-fight losing streak, while Danis prepares for a boxing match with influencer KSI.
Tony Ferguson? Truly one of a kind. “El Cucuy” is set to face Dillon Danis in an upcoming GFL event. The date and location? Still a mystery.
In the lead-up to this much-anticipated clash, Ferguson shared a quirky training clip. Picture this: working a speed bag using only elbows. No hands involved. Intriguing, right?
The GFL’s future plans? A bit foggy. They hinted at kicking off their first show in April in Los Angeles. Then, another in May in New York. Ferguson, part of Team Los Angeles, threw out a May 11 date in his post.
Ferguson, once the interim UFC lightweight champ, recently left the promotion after eight consecutive losses. He turned 41 last February and is keen on bouncing back against the ever-controversial Danis.
Speaking of Danis, he’s got a boxing bout lined up with influencer KSI. They’re going toe-to-toe on March 29 in Manchester, England. Danis has just two MMA fights under his belt, winning both. His last victory? Against Max Humphrey at a Bellator event in June 2019.
Despite limited MMA action, Danis keeps snagging high-profile gigs thanks to his reputation. Remember that bizarre boxing match with Logan Paul in October 2023? Yeah, the one he lost via disqualification.
And that’s the latest buzz! Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as these events unfold.
