Tony Ferguson teases next fight news after comeback gets cancelled

Tony Ferguson confirms Dillon Danis fight plans are still on

Taking to X in his typical idiosyncratic fashion, Ferguson has all but confirmed that his botched GFL fight with Dillon Danis is back in the works.

"[Dillon Danis] still gonna get demolished," Ferguson wrote. ". . . Fight news soon."

Ferguson was meant to welcome Danis (2-0 MMA) back into the cage at GFL 1 on May 24, but the event was cancelled, citing a lack of investor support.

So where would Ferguson fight next?

One such option is Karate Combat, an organization that has recruited several former UFC talents, including Muhammad Mokaev and Sam Alvey. 'Smilin' Sam' has found major success as their heavyweight champion and knocked out legendary kickboxer Tyrone Spong earlier this year.

Karate Combat's pit would also play into Ferguson's unorthodox fighting style, although he wouldn't be able to grapple in a conventional sense.

Of course, there is also the possibility that GFL will put together an event and follow through with it. Ferguson was one of the main draws and would be vital for a successful first showing.
