Free agent Tony Ferguson teases (another) fight with failed GFL opponent Dillon Danis

“El Cucuy” struggle information?

This previous weekend, the combined martial arts (MMA) world was robbed of a doubtlessly (unhappy) struggle between former Final Combating Championship (UFC) Light-weight interim champion Tony Ferguson and ex-Bellator washout Dillon Danis as a result of the World Combat League (GFL) tragically collapsed months earlier than the 2 fighters may collide.

However apparently, there’s hope that the 2 fighters will struggle quickly, as Ferguson teased struggle information on his social media yesterday.

As with most Ferguson posts, his message was crammed with cryptic emoji jargon. Amid the chaos, “El Cucuy” wrote, “Ol’e MooseKnuckle Danis Nonetheless Gon’ Get Demolished,” adopted by “Combat Information quickly.”

If the Skilled Fighters League (PFL) is sensible, they’ll ebook Ferguson vs. Danis as quickly as potential to attract their greatest viewers since Francis Ngannou’s destruction of Renan Ferreira (watch highlights) Nevertheless, figuring out PFL, they could take into account themselves above a possible “freak struggle,” or no matter one would possibly name Ferguson vs. Danis.

Different promotions, like Karate Fight or Gamebred MMA, may additionally make Ferguson vs. Danis occur. The problem is pay—Ferguson isn’t low cost, and Danis doubtless isn’t both (I do not know why).

However, Ferguson (25-11) is using an eight-fight dropping streak and has been completed in 5 of these. His final win got here in opposition to Donald Cerrone in 2019 (watch highlights).

Danis (2-0) has not competed in MMA since 2019, when he submitted Max Humphrey at Bellator 222 and “retired” in 2023. He did compete in a whole joke of a boxing match in opposition to Logan Paul and received disqualified.
