Second Major Franchise Commitment Builds Momentum Ahead of GFL's Inaugural Eight-Team Global Tournament, Beginning December 18 Buenos Aires

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 2, 2026 -- Global Fight League (OTC: GFLE) ("GFL" or the "Company"), the global team-based mixed martial arts league, today announced the signing of a second seven-figure letter of intent to establish a GFL franchise in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The announcement comes as GFL prepares for its first international team-based MMA event on Friday, December 18, 2026, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Buenos Aires Gauchos will face the Miami Monsters at Microestadio Club Atlético Lanús, bringing the league's city-based team competition format to life. The matchup will mark the opening showdown of GFL's inaugural eight-team global tournament, with the winning team advancing toward the league's first Global Team Championship.

The new franchise agreement is with an accomplished group of veteran Las Vegas commercial real estate and gaming-corridor developers. The contemplated transaction includes a seven-figure franchise purchase price and a non-refundable initial deposit, with additional terms subject to definitive agreements.

The announcement follows GFL's September 24, 2026, disclosure of its first independently owned franchise commitment, marking another important step in the Company's strategy to establish a network of independently owned, city-based MMA teams.

Las Vegas, widely recognized as a global destination for combat sports and live entertainment, represents a natural market for GFL's expansion. The Company envisions the city as both a home for a future GFL franchise and a destination for league events.

"Las Vegas has been central to the growth of mixed martial arts, and it's a city I know well and believe strongly in," said Vince Hesser, Executive Chairman of Global Fight League, who is based in Las Vegas. "We are thrilled to welcome this premier ownership group to the league and partner with them to bring GFL's unique brand of team-based MMA to Las Vegas audiences. With its passionate fight fans, world-class entertainment infrastructure and international reach, we believe Las Vegas can play an important role in the future of the league."

Former Professional Fighters League (PFL) President of Fighting Operations and combat sports veteran Ray Sefo consulted on the partnership, bringing his extensive experience in professional MMA and the Las Vegas fight community to the discussions.

"I've spent my career in combat sports, and I believe there's a real opportunity to bring something fresh and innovative to MMA fans," said Ray Sefo. "What excites me about Global Fight League is the vision of building teams that represent cities, creating new rivalries and giving fans another reason to connect with the sport. I'm excited to support that vision and help bring another sports team to Las Vegas."

The December 18 event in Buenos Aires will provide GFL with an opportunity to showcase its team-based competition format on an international stage, while developing the operational, production and commercial foundation for future events.

Together, the two seven-figure franchise commitments are expected to support GFL's ongoing development, including its inaugural eight-team global tournament beginning in December 2026, and building toward the league's first full regular season in 2028.

GFL's franchise model is designed to create opportunities for independent ownership groups to establish professional MMA teams representing major cities and markets, develop local fan bases, and participate in the league's broader commercial ecosystem, including live events, media, sponsorship and licensing.

Additional information regarding the Las Vegas ownership group, franchise identity, team development and anticipated competition timeline will be announced as plans progress.
