Global Fight League (GFL) founder Darren Owen vowed to "keep pushing forward" on Wednesday following the cancelation of the debut events for the fledgling, team-based MMA organization.

In comments provided to Uncrowned's Ariel Helwani, Owen stated that GFL's "main investor didn’t fulfill his April obligation," which caused an issue that ultimately led to the cancelation of the promotion's two scheduled launch events on May 24-25. Owen stated his belief that the dates can still be postponed to June 15-16 and added that "it's been a frustrating week but I think there’s a solution in place."
