Saturday was supposed to mark GFL ’s debut.

Tony Ferguson vs. Dillon Danis was the pièce de résistance of this meme-fueled double-header.

The most talked-about moment? Not a fighter, coach, or team — but a rap song, its chorus echoing through the chaos.

Ferguson didn't fight Danis and we didn't get an opportunity to collectively chortle to our hearts' content.

Even though the promotion was doomed to fail, it did something the overwhelming majority of promotions outside the UFC cannot do.

As the UFC effortlessly widens the gap, the No. 2 spot in MMA remains a strange, shifting thing.
