Fri Jan 24 12:00:00 UTC 2025: ## UFC Legend Tony Ferguson Reportedly Signs with Global Fight League, But Questions Remain

**Abu Dhabi, UAE** – The MMA world is abuzz with the news that former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson has reportedly signed with the Global Fight League (GFL). The announcement, made via GFL’s official Instagram account, features a graphic of Ferguson and the caption “@tonyfergusonxt signs with the Global Fight League. #MMA #GFL #USA.”

However, the news has been met with widespread confusion and skepticism. Ferguson himself has yet to confirm the signing, and UFC President Dana White has remained silent on the matter. Furthermore, the GFL has a history of prematurely announcing signings, as evidenced by a recent statement from OKTAGON MMA disputing the GFL’s claim to have signed two of their fighters.

Ferguson, once on a 12-fight winning streak, is currently riding an eight-fight losing skid, culminating in a submission loss to Michael Chiesa in August. His refusal to retire after the fight further fueled speculation about his future.

The GFL roster already boasts a collection of notable former UFC stars, including Paige VanZant, Tyron Woodley, Luke Rockhold, and others. While the addition of Ferguson would be a significant coup for the relatively new promotion, the lack of official confirmation from either Ferguson or the UFC raises serious questions about the validity of the announcement. Fans are advised to await official confirmation before celebrating Ferguson’s potential move. The GFL’s track record suggests caution is warranted.
