Das MMA-Comeback von Ex-UFC-Star Paige VanZant verzögert sich auf unbestimmte Zeit.
Die Käfigkämpfer-Promotion GFL – im Schatten der übermächtigen UFC ins Leben gerufen – muss ihre ersten beiden Kampfnächte am 24. und 25. Mai absagen.
Zuvor hatten mehrere ehemalige UFC-Kämpfer (auch Champions) bei der Promotion unterschrieben, darunter Tony Ferguson, Luke Rockhold, Chad Mendes, Fabricio Werdum – und auch VanZant!
Das Drama hatte sich in den letzten Wochen angekündigt: Gleich mehrere Kämpfer hatten sich aus verschiedenen Gründen von ihren angesetzten Fights zurückgezogen. So sagte etwa Ex-UFC-Champion Werdum seinen ab, weil ihm „die Motivation fehle“.
Ahnten die Fighter schon, dass die frisch gebackene Liga in Geldnöten ist?
[–>„Mein Hauptinvestor hat seine Verpflichtungen im April nicht erfüllt, was letztlich zu den Absagen führte“, erklärte GFL-Gründer Darren Owen dann vor wenigen Tagen das Aus gegenüber „Uncrowned“.
Die Zukunft der GFL – sie steht auf der Kippe. MMA-Fans hatten es schon geahnt, viele äußerten in den sozialen Netzwerken große Bedenken, dass die neue Promotion Fuß fassen kann.
VanZant verzückte ihre Fans nach der aktiven MMA-Karriere vor allem mit ihren Fotos und Online-Auftritten

Der erste Kampf von Ex-UFC-Star VanZant stand schon fest
Dabei hatte alles verheißungsvoll begonnen. Die Liga bot Kämpfern äußert lukrastive Verträge an, viele (ehemals) große Namen schlugen ein. Wie Paige VanZant.
Fünf Jahre ist es her, dass die heute 31-Jährige die UFC und damit den Sport verlassen hatte. Sie probierte sich in verschiedensten Kampfsportarten aus, erlangte aber vor allem als Influencerin immer größere Bekanntheit.
Schock-Verletzung!: MMA-Kämpferin platzt Brust beim Training
Ihr Comeback-Kampf stand schon fest: Am 25. Mai sollte es gegen die Kanadierin Randi Field (34) zurück in den Octagon gehen. Doch daraus wird jetzt erst einmal nichts. Noch hat sich VanZant nicht zu dem sportlichen Rückschlag geäußert.
Der Veranstalter hofft, die ersten Kämpfe Ende Juni nachholen zu können – vorausgesetzt, es gibt dann einen oder mehrere Investoren.

Chiefs get defensive on Day 2 of the draft, add youthful energy to their pass rush

NFL Draft Day 2 winners and losers: Shedeur Sanders down, Tyler Shough (and his dog) up
While the quarterback-needy Pittsburgh Steelers wait for word from Aaron Rodgers, they’ve made one thing clear: They’re not ready to jump into the Shedeur Sanders business. Not yet, at least.And they’re not alone.Three rounds into the 2025 NFL Draft, no team is.One hundred and two selections have been made, and Sanders, a borderline first-round prospect and considered as recently as February to be in the running with Miami’s Cam Ward as the first quarterback off the board, is somehow still waiting. Sanders watched three more quarterbacks — Louisville’s Tyler Shough (No. 40 to New Orleans), Alabama’s Jalen Milroe (No. 92 to Seattle) and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel (No. 94 to Cleveland) — go ahead of him in Friday’s second and third rounds.AdvertisementWith Ward and Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart going in Thursday’s first round, that means five QBs have heard their names before […]

NFL Draft best available players for New York Jets: Billy Bowman, Elic Ayomanor
The first draft of the Aaron Glenn-Darren Mougey era began with an athletic right tackle in Missouri’s Armand Membou. On Day 2, they upgraded the tight end room with LSU’s Mason Taylor and got an intriguing developmental cornerback in Florida State’s Azareye’h Thomas.The Jets have five more picks to work with on Day 3 of the draft, where could the Jets look next? Here’s a rundown of the prospects that would make some sense Friday and Saturday (prospects are listed in overall rank order according to The Beast)…Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (No. 2 QB, No. 34 overall): At this point, the value has become difficult to ignore. The Jets didn’t have any interest in drafting him in the first three rounds, but what about on Day 3? The Jets believe in Justin Fields, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be […]
