Global Fight League announces launch, roster includes giant list of former UFC fighters
GFL has arrived – and it’s bringing fairly massive names from UFC yesteryears with it.mmajunkie.usatoday.com
Confirmed signed to this new GFL company. Didn’t know he was released til I saw this. His most recent ufc run was a full 10years long. Will always be a fan!
Ps- Alex Gustaffson also no longer with ufc. Wishin him well, too
Good riddance. He was either in boring sparring sessions with shit tier fighters or getting steamrolled by anyone with a pulse.
fair enough
He turned the last years of his career into a grift though. Cashing fat checks to either do cautious sparring against guys who shouldn’t even have been in the UFC or quickly folding against anyone slightly good. From his perspective it was a smart move financially but from a fans perspective it was terrible and it tarnished his legacy too (if that even matters)Thats a savage take about an OG of the sport my man
You could argue I spose he'd earnt it with his earlier career though although unlike most UFC HW's of that era he did actually get a serious payday vs Fedor(wasnt it 2 million+ or something?).He turned the last years of his career into a grift though.
