    UFC Hall Of Famers Inclusion In New MMA Draft Causes Fan Questions
    (Photo by Brandon Magnus/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Zuffa LLC via Getty ImagesUFC Hall-of-Famer Wanderlei Silva is 48 years old and hasnt competed since he lost to Quinton Rampage Jackson in September 2018. However, he is one of dozens of recognizable names included in the draft pool for the upcoming MMA league, the Global Fight League.Fans who are very familiar with Silva and the wars he has been in over the course of his career asked the GFLs official X account if Silvas inclusion was real.According to the GFLs official X account, Silva expressed an interest to be involved, but his inclusion in any fight would be based on approval from the athletic commission where he fights.That said, as the GFLs account pointed out, Silvas popularity is apparent, as is the sarcasm from MMA fans. The Axe Murderer was winning GFLs poll that asked fans: You are in charge of picking your team's SECOND middleweight. Who do you choose and why?MORE FOR YOUAt the time of this post, Silva 48% of the vote and the next closest fighter is former UFC fighter and recent Karate Combat participant, Markus Perez.At one point in his career, Wanderlei Silva was arguably the most exciting fighter in the sport. Silvas all-action style produced classic fights against Rampage Jackson, Brian Stann, Cung Le, Rich Franklin, Keith Jardine, Chuck Liddell, Hidehiko Yoshida, and more.Unfortunately, those fights happened more than a decade agoin some instances, more than 20 years ago. Silvas time as a legitimate fighter is likely over.The GFLs roster is heavy on big names from the UFC, Bellator, and Prides past, but also strong on questions about the fighters ability to perform at a high level. No one is expecting Silva, Anthony Pettis, Alexander Gustafsson, or Renan Barao to be as good as they were in their prime.However, the hope is that theyre still able to have competitive and exciting fights while leaving the cage or ring with their faculties intact. Theres still much we dont know about the new league.What we do know is the major makeup of the roster, the team-based format that will include a draft, and that the organization promises a 50-50 revenue split with the fighters.While Im not a fan of the team or season-based format in combat sports, I am interested in seeing how the teams are formed, how the events will be presented, and if the fights grab the attention of the MMA community.Hopefully, the GFLs events will occupy a day of the week, like Friday, that isnt currently owned by the UFC.
