Revision as of 05:08, 12 December 2024

List of current GFL fighters records current PFL fighters' information, country origins, recent fighter signings and departures, fight schedules and results and the champion of each division. Unlike the UFC, GFL does allow its fighters to compete in other promotions, so many fighters on this list may appear in MMA events outside of GFL.

Background

The Global Fight League (GFL) is an American mixed martial arts league founded by venture capitalist Darren Owen in 2024 and will be launched in April 2025, The league will have a draft that will kick things off on Jan. 24, 2025 and its first season is set to launch in April 2025 where teams will be city-based. GFL’s fighter-centric model is expected to include fighter health and injury insurance, a structured retirement fund and a 50% event-specific revenue share with the fighters.

The GFL will put on fights across ten weight-divisions which are differ from traditional weight classes: Women's strawweight (120 pounds), women's flyweight (130), women's bantamweight (140), men's bantamweight (145), featherweight (155), lightweight (165), welterweight (180), middleweight (200), light heavyweight (225) and heavyweight (265). GFL is expected to carry a 300-fighter roster where 120 athletes will get drafted across six teams, comprised of 20 fighters, two representatives each across 10 weight classes. A scoring system is set for the bouts where fighters will earn four points for a finish three for decision win, two for a draw, one for decision loss and zero for a defeat via finish. The points will contribute to each team's total score.
