Alexander Skaredin, manager of a Russian mixed martial arts fighter Daria Zhelezniakova reported that the athlete’s first fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was canceled due to problems with a US visa.
On October 14, Zheleznyakova was scheduled to meet Brazilian Tainara Lisboa at the UFC Fight Night tournament in Las Vegas (USA). The 27-year-old Russian has eight victories and one defeat in MMA. Zheleznyakova spent her last three fights in French promotion Ares.
— The Zhelezniakova fight, which was scheduled to take place on October 14, has been canceled. There are visa problems. And it has nothing to do with rejections or anything else, we just have a certain cascade of processes with documents. As a result, Zhelezniakova’s fight was postponed. I think it will debut this year. We just need to resolve the nuances regarding the visa,” Skaredin told .
