L (photo Brandon Magnus/Zufffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images)British UFC veteran Brad Pickett In a recent interview with the Global Fight League “All Smoke & Mirrors” Grosvenor Sport.
GFL has met with great skepticism over the past few months, but last night he announced the inaugural weekend of events (May 24th-25th) in LA, which is very excited about fans.
Weighing the debate about the fresh concept, Pickett discussed:
- Challenges that GFL will try to repeat the success of the UFC
- Questions about the format of the league and teams and its long -term aspirations
- Reveals how the league contacted him and remained frustrated by them
“It’s all smoke and mirrors” UFC veteran says in the Global Fight League
We talked about some competing promotions and the monopoly that UFC has. What do you think about GFL that appeared out of nowhere? Did you contact this to get involved?
Brad Pickett: In a sense, it’s all smoke and mirrors until something happens. They signed all these warriors, I am surprised that they did not receive any insurance for any of these warriors, some of these guys are appropriate.
For me personally, you can’t just throw money on something and expect that it will be a success day by day. UFC was not built overnight; It took years of demanding work to build this brand. You can’t just buy a few fighters and expect to repeat the UFC model. It won’t work like that. It’s tough. This can probably happen, but you have to build something with time, they did nothing else, it was only MMA, but sold a little differently.
It’s the same, but it’s a bit more complicated. They try to sell these aspects of the band, trying to encourage people to support the team, I understand this, but there is not even one local warrior on the London card. What do they think? They try to sell this aspect of the team and can encourage wealthy people to buy and support these teams, but it doesn’t make much sense.
Did they ask you for commitment? Because when you look at the London team, there is Gustafsson, who is Swedish, Mousasi, who is Dutch, and everyone is in the London team.
Brad Pickett: I talked to several different people, not directly, but by others. I had some contact, but as I said, at the moment it’s all smoke and mirrors. Nothing really happens. I had several guys who were to be signed with them, and they live and train in London. They were just bypassed, which irritated me a bit.

From the seller of snacks to the Slovenian star: David Forster returns to Brave CF 96 in the full circuit of Ljubljanadavid Forster: From the seller of the stadium snacks to the Slovenian hero MMA in Brave Cf 96
Ljubljana, Slovenia – What began as a modest hustle and bustle outside the gate of the stadium transformed into a dream realized in a cage. David Forster, once known from the sale of popcorn and heated dogs at local sporting events, intends to return the Brave Combat federation to Slovenia in Brave CF 96 – the largest night in the history of Slovenian MMA – June 7 in Ljubljana.
Forster’s history is a definition of immunity. After capturing the hearts of fans with a gritty win in Brave cf 70The Slovenian attacker hit the turbulence with hard losses at the back in Brave cf 79 AND Brave cf 81. But the failure did not break him – her concentration sharpened.
Now, with a roar of a home crowd, Forster has a golden opportunity to master his super lightweight ladder again. His opponent? Nobody but Kristjan Tõniste, an undefeated Estonian phenomenon, which debuted definitely promotional at Brave CF 81, dominating the local Drnovšek’s favorite domain in a three -master presentation of impact and mastery.
“This is not another fight for me,” said Forster. “That’s all. This is proof that no matter where you start, where you are going.”
The upcoming Forster fight is more than a professional competition – it is a symbolic chapter in an extraordinary journey. From the work of a license to representing Slovenia on a global combat sports platform, Forster is a symbol of what sand, passion and perseverance can achieve.
Standing opposite him, he is a earnest test. Tõniste, confident and invincible, wants to expand his streak and stamp his claim as a future pretender for the title. But on this historical night in Ljubljana Forster has a chance to do what he does best – set a chance and inspire the nation.
Brave cf 96 This is not only a combat card – it’s a moment in the Slovenian history of MMA. And David Forster is ready to be unforgettable.
