It’s been a productive week of meetings and conversations with venues, sponsors, and industry partners as we continue laying the foundation for the GFL. We look forward to announcing the official launch date soon!

Congratulations to MVP on a massive event weekend and continued innovation for the sport. Great to see members of the GFL Athlete Performance & Wellness Council, including Tyron Woodley, Cat Zingano and Burt Watson, involved in a fighter-first vision focused on creating more opportunity for athletes. MMA grows stronger when organizations continue pushing the sport forward.

The GFL team was in New York this week for investor meetings and presentations at the Market Movers Investment Summit with @AROD and @GrantCardone. GFL Executive Chairman Vince Hesser, Commissioner @GFLDarren, CMO Scott Parker and the legend @SugarRaySefo #GFL #MMA

Here’s where things stand today. 4 teams. 4 cities. First event targeting Summer 2026. Team identities coming soon. We’ll keep you posted as we go.

Here’s where things stand today. We know everyone is eager for updates. This is the first in a series as we build toward our first event. In this clip from Darren’s conversation with @GoldieOnTV, they talk about the reset and where we are. A public company. Working with DealMaker. A structure where fans, athletes, and investors can share in what we’re building. You’ll keep hearing directly from us.

Energized and inspired by every conversation with “Uncle Burt” @BurtWatson4real. As he likes to remind me... “It’s a dusty road. The same one traveled by everyone in MMA. When you get knocked down, you get back up. It’s one round. Let the process work.” A reminder as we continue to build. The road is the road. We keep moving forward. “Let’s go get it right, baby!” Truly, truly a pleasure, my man. - Scott #GFL #MMA

Jessica Aguilar has lived this sport at the highest level. 20 professional MMA wins. World champion. A pioneer in women’s MMA. A voice for women and the LGBTQ community. She’s seen what fighters give, and what they don’t always get back. That’s why she joined the GFL Athlete Performance & Wellness Council. To help raise the standard for how athletes are supported, protected, and valued. The work is underway. We’re in motion. Together We Fight. #GFL #MMA

A true pioneer in women’s MMA, @CatZingano built her reputation the hard way, through grit, pressure, and some of the toughest fights in the sport. As we build GFL, Cat has joined the Athlete Performance & Wellness Council to help bring an athlete’s voice into the evolution of professional fighting. Her goal is to help ensure the next generation of fighters can pursue greatness while being protected, respected, and supported along the way. We’re building this step by step, with fighters at the center of it.

Dr. Jen Welter has built her career doing what most people said couldn't be done. From playing professional football alongside men to becoming the first female coach in the NFL, Dr. Welter is a true pioneer who has consistently redefined what's possible for athletes. One thing she's clear on: Mental performance is not separate from the fight. It is the fight. Her work focuses on athlete identity and the psychology of injury, shaping how athletes endure, adapt, and come back stronger. As part of the GFL Athlete Performance & Wellness Council, she's helping support fighters not just for the next fight, but for the long run.

lima-Lei Macfarlane has always stood for more than what happens in the cage. In her first conversation with the GFL team, she spoke candidly about what fighters are still navigating today, and what needs to change. She believes there’s room for a system where athletes feel more supported, valued, and secure, not just during their careers, but after too. Whether that’s better conditions, more stability, or access to real benefits, it all matters. And most importantly, she wants to be part of something that’s trying to move things in a better direction. That’s why she joined the GFL Athlete Performance & Wellness Council. #GlobalFightLeague #TogetherWeFight

For more than four decades, Burt Watson has been one of the most trusted figures in combat sports. From serving as Head of Fighter Relations for the UFC to working alongside champions such as Ronda Rousey, Georges St-Pierre, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, and Conor McGregor, Burt built a reputation for always looking out for fighters. Over his career he has worked across UFC, Bellator, WEC, Strikeforce, and major boxing promotions, supporting legends including Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Roy Jones Jr., Oscar De La Hoya, and the Klitschko brothers. He received the Fighters Only Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame. Now he brings that same fighter-first mindset to the Global Fight League Athlete Performance & Wellness Council. #GlobalFightLeague #TogetherWeFight
