Nově vznikající organizace Global Fight League (GFL) měla dnes v noci na programu očekávaný draft, kde vybrala bojovníky do svých řad. Draftem prošlo hned několik bývalých šampionů, ale také tři veteráni organizace OKTAGON.
Výběr provedlo šest týmů. Dubai (manažer Cain Velasquez, trenér Javier Mendez); Londýn (manažer Luke Barnatt, trenér Carl Prince); Los Angeles (manažer Wanderlei Silva, trenér Rafael Cordeiro); Miami (manažer Thiago Alves, trenér Conan Silveira); New York (manažer TBA, trenér Ray Longo); a Sao Paulo (manažer Lyoto Machida a trenér Andre Pederneiras).
Byť GFL zveřejnila x "podepsaných" zástupců tuzemské organizace OKTAGON, tak nakonec došlo "pouze na pět" podpisů bývalých zápasníků OKTAGONu. V GFL budou působit Louis Glismann, Farbod Iran Nezhad, Stuart Austin, Josh Hill a Chiara Penco.
