Next week’s UFC Fight Night card at the UFC Apex needs a new main event.
According to a report by MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani, Rafael Fiziev‘s visa will not be approved in time for his five-round main event against Rafael dos Anjos on February 19th. As a result, the UFC has moved the fight to the co-main event slot of UFC 272 on March 5th in Las Vegas. The fight will remain five rounds, becoming only the third non-title and non-main event fight to be scheduled the championship distance.
