Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev were supposed to headline UFC Vegas 48 next week, but the latter had visa issues causing some major reshuffling on two cards.
According to MMA Fighting, the Thailand-based Kyrgyzstani in Fiziev couldn’t fix his papers on time, so the bout has been postponed. UFC Vegas 48 will lose its main event, and the bout will instead be pushed back two weeks later to UFC 272.
Fiziev vs dos Anjos will reportedly remain a five-round bout, and will be put as the co-main event to beef up the UFC 272 line up.
