A new match-up is set for one of the Contender Series Brazil cards, and another change has happened.
Andre Muniz (16-4) was originally scheduled to face Daniel Pereira (7-2) in Las Vegas, N.V., on Aug. 9, but Pereira was one of the many fighters forced out of the events with visa issues. Now, “Sergipano” faces Bruno Assis (8-2) in a middleweight bout, sources told MMA Fighting.
The other change brought good news to one fighter at the expense of another athlete receiving bad news.
Henrique Silva wasn’t on the initial list of fighters affected by visa problems, but he should be.
