- GFL has been in the works for a couple of years now, with founder and commissioner Darren Owen at the helm. With the recent draft it's become clear that there are a whole lot of old dudes that are going to be fighting, though.

Congratulations to Team CTE for winning the 2025 GFL season!
Eh? What a crap joke lol who's team cte
@@dootwootright? That could be any one of them!
@@dootwootthe entire league
People who make these types of comments usually don’t know anything about CTE, just an unfunny low tier MMA troll meme.
@@timbaflax2422 People who make these types of comments keep people aware that 90% of these guys shouldn’t be fighting anymore, and nobody should be watching a promotion that signs fighters well past their primes to fight each other
If he joins the GFL now, Conor might actually have a chance at another belt
Mmmh wouldn’t hold my breath on that 😂
He could fight Chandler there, lol
Too bad he's too high on coke and BKFC and has publically expressed disinterest in going to any other promotion besides the UFC.
@TheSquad4life yeah, I was joking lol
Like Conors recent career
@fellowtraveler2251 too high and too drunk
It's so sad to see Tony Ferguson saying the same thing before his last 10 fights about how he has a new fire for the sport and how he's going to be his old self again. He's gonna be a vegetable in a few more fights.
He already is
A few years back, the man was talking about spies living in his walls and saying a lunar eclipse was going to generate a massive flood that would wipe his family out... to the point he was jumping fences butt-naked with his baby in his arms. The fact that ANY commission is clearing him to fight, at this point, is fuggin' mind-boggling.
he was pretty whacked out before fighting
My grandfather used to box when he was in the military during the Korean War era. I wonder if he’ll be getting a call from gfl soon
🙏Here's to hoping.
Jake paul gonna be in touch with you real soon check ur dms
My Grandpa actually boxed while in the army in the Korean war era as well. He is buried in a veteran cemetery, but the phone is always on for a match. Jake Paul called a few days ago to get a match with him but he missed the call
Go watch football. Your probably a casual anyway.
@@peacefulbeast8386take a Xanax and come back when you’ve calmed down.
If everyone is the around the same age this should be pretty fun to watch
Exactly, this is probably the best thing for these guys, and it sounds entertaining as hell.
@ agreed bro
Why u adding in an extra "the" 😂
Yeah, seeing people who should retire fast tracking their way to CTE is so fun to watch 🙄
@@Allegedly_Angel yeah but you can't force them to retire, this is way better than them fighting an up and comer and getting destroyed
These operators of different MMA promotions like to take jabs at the UFC and Dana White but what they fail to acknowledge is that it took the UFC many years to develop their brand while these other guys think they can do it overnight. It will never work like that
UFC didn’t have to develop a brand they had to develop an entire sport it’s slower. First to market always has the risk of being copied or improved upon.
Exactly. They had a lot of failures and luck as well. Apples and oranges.
Sad part is that ufc is still at a bush league level after all these years.
@@ProfileUserNumberpride was already around and bigger than the ufc
You make quality content. Thanks for another upload.
Predicting that Jake Paul will make his MMA debut in GFL and go on an undefeated KO streak 😤😤😤
It's a buffet for Jake The Snake 🐍
And then Tony of all people flatlines him
Tbh he will lose to 50%+ these fighters in mma
Chris Weidman once said to James Lynch the thing that bothers him most is delusional people, he then proceeded to go off about how he was still only a couple fights away from a title shot at 185 in the UFC and matching up with Izzy, this was around the time of UFC 300, truly one of the funniest moments highlighting someone's complete lack of self awareness that I've ever witnessed to this day 😂
The dude walked around the gym like he was better than everyone. That whole team had a bad attitude when I trained at their gym. Aljamain used to try and laugh at me I’m like twice the size of him. They’re lames and I’m so glad I didn’t stick around there
@@EricParisen-hy9wusame i remember when me a weidman hard spared a smesh that guy bratha
I’m gonna watch GFL just to hear Mike Goldberg catch phrases … here we go!
"AND IT IS ALLLLL OVERRR", his voice is so nostolgiac for me lol.
I feel like this is a subsidiary of the UFC, Dana White ain't bad mouthing it and for ALL these UFC fighters to leave with no contract breaking and the UFC NOT trying to sue them HARD is suspect as fuck etc
Man, I never thought about that; and I feel that at one point in time, I would've.
Dillon Danis is The Only Young Guy Who Signed To GFL
Dillon Danis is 31. The youngest fighter they got is 21, as per this video. Please do your research before making unqualified comments.
bro i'd like to suggest a video idea for you "Henry Cejudo - The dumbest career suicide ever" i think you could make an amazing video given the quality of your content
Appreciate it, bro. That's a solid idea!
Nobody cares about Henry cejudo lol
@ you are right, and I blame Henry Cejudo for it lmao
That's exactly why it's called "career suicide"
Didn’t he become a double champ or somehow ?
I used to be a Goldy hater because he was always saying nonsense but as time goes by I start to feel nostalgic about the guy. So many great fights have his voice in them. And he deserved a better goodbye than what he got... I wonder what it was between him and Dana that made the relationship sour that much.
I think a lot of his nonsense was just him playing the role of the newbie, so Joe could teach the audience at home about MMA.
Probably rampant drug and alcohol abuse
Many of us enjoyed Goldie’s inability to grasp MMA 👊🏽
Belfort has asked for such a league for atleast last 7-8 years? GFL should sign Belfort, and have Pride FC style opening ceremony in each market they visit across the world.
No!!!
During the broadcast they should make fighters look younger with cgi like Deniro in Irishman or something like that
Belfort is probably around 47 now, lol he can't fight
Missed opportunity to call it a Global International League of Fighting.
Haha I see what you did there
Hey just started watching your content and just wanna say it’s great man and the production is great!
Watch everyone wanna go fight for this promotion 👌
Should be called the PFM: People Forget, Man
Oh, I thought Goldberg was the owner
I thought it was Goldberg fight league
GFL
YOURE NEXTTT
If you make Schaub seem normal that is WILD. Never understood the anti-climactic end to Goldberg's announcer career. Said some goofy things sometimes but they all do. He deserved better.
I'll definitely watch this but I have zero confidence that this will happen
How the F did bellator fail we were so happy with just ufc and bellator
It didn't fail. The PFL bought it and killed it.
Strikeforce was cool too.
When I’m saying the quality of MMA is dropped severely because there’s so many fighting leagues now
@smoovkilla your right man me and you could join the gfl we can make it to a championship and then ill take the fall in the fight and we split that championship money
COVID off'd Bellator because they couldn't put on shows. Their deal with DAZN fell through, and they never really recovered.
Tony is going to have 10 title defenses CSO 🕶️
all this years thinking about marketing and they call it Gfl with an old roster
The fact that anyone is enabling Tony's fight addiction at this point is just elder abuse.
Protect your neck wooooooah
Guys I just got signed, I'm fighting Tony under special rules:
- If I win I get 1 point
- If Tony loses he gets 500 points
- Tony doesn't have to make weight
Wish me luck 👊
Thanks for breaking this down because I was convinced it was just nonsense. Hope it’s not. 😂
Damn dude lit Robin Black on fire with that grandpa joke
Rather have 15% of whatever the UFC's making than 50% of $0 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fighters will make the money, the investors will not though
I met Weidman and his dad in Maui last summer, both were super cool and funny
Was he still his boy?
Tony is 1 fight away from title. #StrapSeason #HeBackkk
Your explanation of that rap song was spot. I listened to it and it's very 2002 haha
I can get behind Dillon Danis vs Yoel Romero
40s is Grandpa's age...... sheesh
Everything is overly dramatic, brother. We're getting views.
In the military if you enlist at 27 you're pops. You get to your 30s as infantry you're the grampa in your platoon.
@@GeeKayHereyour clickbaitng for views yeah we get it the point is it's scummy and makes you look like a weirdo
@@dootwoothey…hey, I don’t care. Also: *you’re 😊
@@dootwootbeing hyperbolic isn’t click bait 😂. Sorry this video wasn’t full of 70 year olds fighting. You’re the weirdo for thinking this is “scummy clickbait”
Howzit from down South 🇿🇦🤘
Dude they should have just gone with a “master’s league” sort or deal where it’s just a bunch of past their prime but still healthy fighters who still have a little competition left in the tank. Would love to see Shogun vs Vitor or something like that. Way better than seeing these legends fed to younger upcoming guys.
GFL, like CTE, is an initialism, an acronym is when the letters create another word.
Why I seen the thumbnail I cried😭😂😂😂
Wishing them well
I mostly agree with you but it’s obvious gfl knows what they’re doing. That’s why they’re bringing in old ufc talent, with young talent they scouted themselves that they will eventually match with the “name” ufc talent they can build off of. I don’t get the whole doom and gloom towards it but I guess that can be a blessing when the show performs modestly but will be seen as great because it already got counted out.
Honestly, I feel like I'd be more likely to try and watch GFL more than I ever watched Bellator and PFL.
I want GFL to succeed, so I'm giving it a chance. There needs to be more competition for UFC. Fighters need better pay.
You are beyond delusional if you think the GFL is gonna a be a competitor to the UFC
@HeliodromusScorpio You are beyond illiterate if you think "competitor" means "replace" or "outdraw." Just by existing, they're competing.
@@HeliodromusScorpioyou seem a touch simple baby ahaha hell yeah!!
Hiring an entire roster of washed-up, CTE-addled fighters that should be retired is NOT the route to success in this industry. Don't get your hopes up.
@Strype13 They don't have CTE, that's just an overused word that people on Reddit can't stop themselves from using in every single sentence about older fighters.
glf should connect with youtubers for some free publicity
Every time someone tries to come along and reinvent MMA with weird rules, or teams, or drafts, or playoffs, or whatever it turns out worse than just matching up great fighters...
GFL sounds like a fun league. I can't wait to see Rampage in action again!
Also, seeing Dillon Dannis get OBLITERATED will go so viral after how much he disappointed people against Logan.
Could someone explain to me how money laundering works? Hypothetically, of course.
We need to support these other leaugues regardless of possible business problems. The fighters need a better pay structure and the only way to make it happen is to develop other promotions.
[10:33] A finish should be worth 5 points to encourage fighters to chase KO's and subs. Especially if you're going to be rewarding a point for losing a decision (incredibly smooth-brained idea). The idea that, in the event of an extremely close competition, a team could be pushed into the top spot by their fighter losing a match is absurd.
This was also my original thought until I saw bisping's sons take on it. It's getting eyes on the product from already well established names even if they are a little bit past it
Little bit past it? Most of these fighters should of retired 10 years ago
This is like telling your grandpa that they open a new warehouse and should go to work since he misses working and cant do nothing besides working...but with his age his gonna get hurt and get 0 compnsation = GFL
Dilon danis lol
I mean, we'll watch the fights when they happen.
I hope they merge with K1 kickboxing or Glory and have that striker/ MMA thing
That is a crap roster.
The only promotion that should hire Tony Ferguson is PFL, so he can be Jake Paul's mma debut.
GFL is the AEW of MMA. Signing a bunch of past their prime stars to get eyes on their product.
I gotta say if it is easy access on Pay-Per-View I'm all in if the right fights are booked.
Weidman vs. Rockhold II
Tony vs. Dillon
Woodly vs. Lombard
Pettis vs. Northcutt
Yoel vs. Gegard
Pitbull vs. Stephens
Gus vs. JDS
Arlovski vs. Belcher
Benson vs. Cowboy Olivera
Hall vs. Santos
Lots of fun match-up and some big fights too...
Good luck to them!
as Dana would say...
Sage nortncutt and paige van zant left UFC for more money but both careers went down rapidly.
Tony fought for the ufc a couple a months ago cant act like gfl is so much worse
Yeah, but he was on his way out of the UFC. In GFL he's like their prized possession. It's bottom of the top, vs top of the bottom...
Ok. You believe that
He had a contract to fight out before he could join another promotion to ensure that his CTE-addled brain fully liquifies and starts seeping out of his massive cauliflower ears. A few years back, the man was talking about spies living in his walls and saying a lunar eclipse was going to generate a massive flood that would wipe his family out... to the point he was jumping fences butt-naked with his baby in his arms. The fact that ANY commission is clearing him to fight, at this point, is fuggin' mind-boggling.
Cain needs to be pardoned !
Vid name got me fuvking rolling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If they match make this right this can go very well.
Let these Uncs retire in peace.
retire to what? most of them are not even in their 40's and not make a good paycheck in a while
@@FlyPsiche because most believe the BS that AGE matters.. they also probably votedd for trump, so...
That's what makes me sad: I don't think they can.
No one is forcing them to fight lol.
Maybe we get to see Aldo vs Cruz finally
great video
Does anyone remember when Bellator looked like it was turning into this?
I'm going to watch.
So it's the IFL for senior citizens
gfl ceo seems like a good dude all said and done tho.
GrandFatherLeague = GFL
Rogan stole a Schuab joke for his godforsaken 'comedy' special and he doesnt want Brendan's face around Austin reminding Joe how shit a comic he is 😂😂😂
ik they’re all old & washed but jds can still put on a show, im excited to see cigano.
Maaaaaan don’t be saying that! I mean Tony is doing it to himself at this point.
Good stuff man
yea it was pretty obvious it was pre-determined when every single BIG name was signed 🤣at least he was honest
This looks like a 2010-2015 UFC roster 😅 except for like 5 names
Chris Weidmans fake retirement is hilarious dude loves getting beat up
This feels like a pump and dump scheme but with mma promotions
My favorite weidman fight was against Uriah hall.
Alot of haters but I'm kind of looking forward to seeing old school legends battle with each other don't get me wrong there is nothing like the UFC if that's all people want to watch just watch that but it will be cool to watch legends go at it 😊
Rogan stole Brendan's jokes too.
I don't think this format can ever work for MMA. It's all fun and games with the "season" thing, until 5 guys get injured, especially with the senior citizens that have signed up.
dont hate - appreciate! more competition for ufc the better
I bet 50% of gfl rev is wayyyyyyyyyy less then 20% of ufc revenue 😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂 he specifically says ‘ufc’ y’all got selective hearing
3:20 i remember meeting this guy at edgefest 2002.....seemed creepy then when I was like 15....now I know it.
Man people are hating this. The stars are to old and the unknown fighters are to unknown. The team/points system is somehow worse than the UFC´s, who is Danas favorite rockstar. And the whole thing is doomed from the getgo. Newsflash: a new UFC will never pop out of nothing, with all the superstars jumping ship to compete in something untested, for money conjured out of thin air. A promotion will have to build itself, and as long as the fans side with Dana on noone ever being able to do it, noone ever will.
I swear bj penn and Sam Alvey have tied 9fught loss streak
Actual name of the league is Geriatric Facility League.
I don't see the big issue. They entered the MMA scene with a bang by snatching up anyone with a name that's willing to fight.
As long as they use the old fighters to build up new talent it's cool.
Problem is, "anyone with a name that's willing to fight" is just a polite way of describing an entire roster of old, washed-up, CTE-addled fighters that should be retired.
@@Strype13 Who cares. They're still more interesting to watch than no names.
@fips711 I care. I don't have much interest in watching people accumulate unnecessary brain damage because they're too obstinate to know when to stop. To each their own, though.
@ They've got nothing better to do with those brain cells. Let them bang.
Robin Black does have a tacky fashion sense but I never thought of him being full of himself 🤔 Just an extreme combat sports enthusiast.
He had a period years ago where he thought he was the next coming of whatever, thinking that he'd overtake Ariel Helwani with ease and all sorts of stuff.
He looks like he would be advocating to read books to toddlers
Yeah, same here. Not sure where that came from.
He is a weird dude… everything in martial arts is some weird mind amalgamation of the physical and mental…Although I think he is growing weirder with age
Aside from the fact that the entire thing was a staged, pre-recorded facade... calling it a "draft" is laughable. This would be like the NFL creating a recruitment league for retired players. I just hope they have great insurance coverage for their competitors because the inherent brain damage is going to be remarkably evident.
Anyone else giving a point for losing a decision will equal some boring fights
Guarantee they arent testing real heavy. 80% of the fighters have failed test
Robin black - where has he been the last few years? - his fight breakdowns were the work of someone suffering a nervous breakdown - he could turn a simple observation into something akin to discovering the mysteries of the universe and then repeating in as many different ways as he could. He talks like someone super stoned but Is trying to convince himself that he isn’t.
If Black is involved then we don’t need to know anymore. It’s doomed.
Glue Factory League
How do people not know how to pronounce Weidman’s name after all these years.
I could MAYBEEEE get it if they didn’t Sigh Aleksei Oleinik…. If anyone’s watched his recent fights you’ll know what I’m talking about. The guy is AN OLD MAN. I know we joke about them being grandpas but this guy is like a 70 year old in a 47 year olds body
Just seems set up for gambling with the team structure. You don’t bet on a person as much as how many points you thing a team will end up with etc.
In a world where the UFC makes 90 cents of every dollar in all of MMA, it's just not possible to be successful. It doesn't matter who they sign
