Former PFL champion Ali Isaev shared in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net why fans should not expect to see him competing in GFL.
"I spoke with the managers: Rizvan Magomedov and Ali Abdelaziz. I was mentally prepared for a fight and had been going to training. One morning, I woke up, checked my VKontakte, and saw news about funding issues," said Isaev.

I started making calls, and they told me there was no specific information. But it seems to me that there will be no tournaments. We sat down and confirmed that there won't be any. There’s no information at all. Zero reaction. The organization does not exist, and it will not exist.
Ali Isaev is a 41-year-old heavyweight and the 2019 PFL season champion, with a professional MMA record of 9-0-1. His last fight took place in February 2023, where he fought to a draw against Steve Mowry at Bellator 290.
