Kevin Lee is seeking revenge for his only UFC title fight defeat by calling for a rematch with Tony Ferguson , as his new employers at the GFL have given him the green light. The Global Fight League is a fresh new addition to the mixed martial arts world.

Many people are skeptical of the GFL, likening it to several promotions before it that tend to pump money into the growth of its brand before collapsing and later becoming defunct.
