Faber and others, have been prepping for a summer fight, not a spring fight..

Perfect time for Yamma Fight Pit to come back and fill the void.

I read that they're trying to get things back on track for June, but I doubt it happens. So many people on their roster are either shot or ancient. I'd still watch it if it happens, but I feel like they won't even get as far as Affliction did.

GFL elevated Has-Beens to Contenders in a new sketchy promotion that borders on the realm of fantasy and actual enterprise.

MMA trying to climb out of the Sporting Worlds Fight dumpster -- but too much weirdness to shake off.

Dana may just be the last legitimate MMA promoter...

X-ARM!!!

Not saying the promotion is 100% dead yet. But the whole gfl thing seemed super sus right from the get go when a bunch of retired shop worm stars were announced as signed, followed by ones like Rashad saying they never agreed to take part

I'll say it: the promotion is 100% dead.

Is it just a way to scam the investors? Because some fighters did say they were getting some money since last year.
The shit never looked viable and the "draft" was terrible production, but the guys involved in that presentation did get some money too.
My guess is the "promoters" are making a run with the money from investors who wanted to invest in MMA (because UFC makes money) but have no ideia how the business work

Darren Owens is the founder and he ran an mma promotion in Canada awhile back. I’m guessing he was promised money by an investor and the investor just never came through with the cash

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

just give us the AI fights in their superhero generated customes, probably a better product

 

[Xanzito]

Metamucil rescinded the partnership. Can't continue.

Now where did I put my shocked face, I must have misplaced it somehow...

For all the shit that Dana White/UFC gets deserved & undeserved. They’re the only fight org consistently putting out events whilst simultaneously creating millionaire’s & opportunities for said fighters outside of fighting. The haters on here needs to stop thinking with envious emotions to actually see that maybe just maybe, Dana White & his crew is doing it right.

 

[VinceArch]

Oh good!

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

some Russian oligarch needs to step in. i want to see Datsik vs Arlovski rematch and Urijah Faber fight 6 real midgets and a 400lb powerlifter on the under card.

 

[Dorkman]

I'll say it: the promotion is 100% dead.

I certainly wouldn't doubt it going belly up

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Nooo! Now these old guys will have to get CTE in the streets! GFL was a blessing in the skies!

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Great. Now how am I going to find out who would win in fights like Barao vs Faber and Pettis vs Bendo? Guess I'll just have to imagine the results since they'll never happen now

I would say something about money laundering but I cant because we know mma is all about honest business.
