In the new MMA league, GFL (Global Fight League), a grand draft took place—120 fighters were distributed among six teams and will compete in a unique "team vs. team" format. The first tournament is scheduled for April.
Former Bellator champion Gegard Mousasi signed with the league and joined the "London" team. His teammates include Alex Gustafsson, Ilir Latifi, Benson Henderson, and other MMA stars.
Mousasi's potential opponents in the middleweight division include fighters from other teams such as Yoel Romero, Chris Weidman, Derek Brunson, Luke Rockhold, and Douglas Lima. Every match promises to be thrilling and spectacular, bringing together the world's best fighters in a new format.
The Global Fight League is a necessary evolution for the future generation of mixed martial artists. The league's mission is to create a world-class, athlete-first league rooted in integrity, collaboration, and a shared passion for MMA. The league shares its revenue with the athletes and provides fans with incredible excitement.
For the first time in the history of combat sports, GFL is implementing a true team-based league model. GFL athletes become equitable partners, receiving 50% of all event revenues. Additionally, the league allocates 8% of each athlete's purse to a retirement fund and 2% to insurance.
