Visa issues scratch Liana Jojua from UFC Vegas 34, Cortney Casey targets future matchup

UFC Vegas 34 is down to 13 fights after visa issues scratched Liana Jojua from a bout against Cortney Casey.

The promotion hopes to rebook the flyweight bout at a later date, though the booking depends on Jojua’s visa status, a person with knowledge of negotiations told MMA Fighting after an initial report from MMA Junkie.

The UFC on Thursday released the full fight card for the Aug. 21 event, and Casey vs. Jojua was absent from the list. Visa issues have scratched several fighters from UFC cards due to travel restrictions and delays due to the coronavirus pandemic.
