Kevin Lee is suing the GFL.
Last month, the Global Fight League was scheduled to hold a two-day event in California, boasting a slew of fights from some of the biggest names in MMA. Unfortunately, things fell apart after investors cut off the combat sports upstart from the corporate teat, leaving the company in limbo.
As a result, every fighter the promotion had “signed” was effectively released and told they were free to pursue other opportunities.
Many of the biggest names touted to appear under the GFL banner have done exactly that, including Kevin Lee, who makes his Professional Fighters League debut on June 20 against Gadzhi Rabadanov.
