Mairbek Taisumov explains the reasons behind his delayed visa that forced him out of a UFC 203 bout against Nik Lentz.
For the second time in a single year, Mairbek Taisumov is unable to enter the United States.
The talented lightweight was scheduled to face Nik Lentz on the UFC 203 fight card in Cleveland, Ohio, though was eventually removed from the event after visa troubles continued to haunt his career.
Taisumov announced that he was unable to obtain a visa to the USA in time for his scheduled bout, and immediately campaigned for another match-up outside of the UFC’s home country.
