Volkan Oezdemir vs. Ilir Latifi is still a go, but is happening a week later than initially planned.
The bout between the two light heavyweight contenders has been moved to UFC Uruguay from UFC Newark, ESPN reported Thursday. Per the report, the switch is due to visa issues.
UFC Uruguay takes place Aug. 10 in Montevideo, Uruguay and is headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between champion Valentina Shevchenko and Liz Carmouche.
UFC Newark, scheduled for Aug. 3, is headlined by Colby Covington vs. Robbie Lawler.
After starting his UFC career with three straight wins (all of which were upsets), Oezdemir has lost three in a row.
