Ex-UFC star reacts to Tony Ferguson announcing his arrival in up-and-coming MMA promotion GFL

A former UFC star recently expressed his views after learning about Tony Ferguson's addition to the new MMA promotion, GFL. The ex-UFC middleweight made his feelings known without the usage of a single word.

Ferguson is easily one of the most noted fighters in the history of the UFC. The former interim lightweight champ joined the promotion back in 2011. 'El Cucuy' picked up his first defeat in the UFC against Michael Johnson after winning his first two in-octagon encounters.

However, Ferguson went on a dream run following this loss. He stringed 12 consecutive victories together along with claiming the interim lightweight gold with a victory over Kevin Lee at UFC 216.

But his loss against Justin Gaethje at UFC 249 marked a pivotal point in his career. Ferguson hasn't looked like his usual self since this loss. This loss also marked the beginning of Ferguson's seven-fight losing streak, which led to his release from the promotion last month.

However, a recent X update from the 40-year-old detailed that he has already inked a contract with the upcoming MMA promotion, GFL (Global Fight League). The caption to it read:

"Oh🦹‍♂️Sh*t, Let’s Gooooo!!! @mmagfl @vaynersports"

Former UFC middleweight Derek Brunson was elated after learning about Ferguson's signing to GFL. The ex-UFC fighter took to the comments section of Ferguson's post to express his thoughts.

"🔥🔥🔥"

Despite a healthy start, Tony Ferguson's UFC career didn't end in the way he and his fans would have liked. Ferguson and his army can now hope for a strong start in his new home, the GFL.

Although it's only been about a day since Ferguson's signing, he has already started receiving fight offers. A recent Instagram post from @espnmma highlighted the event of Ferguson's singing to GFL.

It received a comment from controversial combat sports persona Dillon Danis. The former Bellator fighter offered to lock horns with Ferguson, writing:
