Ferguson casually alludes to the clash, mentioning Dillon Dennis in the process.
The much-anticipated clash between Tony Ferguson and Dillon Danis, scheduled for the inaugural events of Global Fight League (GFL) on May 24 and 25, has been indefinitely postponed without a rescheduled date announced. This sudden development leaves several prominent Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters without their scheduled appearances.
In a cryptic message on social media the day prior, Ferguson, a 41-year-old veteran in the sport, posted, "The journey is what you'll remember anyway. Old 'Leatherhead' Danis will still be destroyed." It is worth noting that Ferguson has endured eight consecutive losses, having left the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) last summer following a submission defeat to Michael Chiesa.
Sources indicate that the cancellation of the fight was due to financial constraints faced by the GFL promotion [1][2][4]. There has been a suggestion of interest from Ferguson in wrestling Danis, although no new date for the rescheduled event has been disclosed [1][2].
