It looks like Global Fight League is paying the big bucks, at least according to former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
Woodley, who’s one of the first fighters to sign with GFL – a new MMA promotion set to launch in early 2025, is excited to return to the sport that made him a name in the sports world. Woodley had been boxing since his UFC release in 2021, but was lured back by what GFL offered him.
“I like it because the OGs get paid, man,” Woodley told Ariel Helwani. “Getting boxing money in MMA is a whole flex. I’m just excited to be part of the new wave.
