Problem with visa delays Sonnen fight Shogun for August 17 Americans have trouble getting the document in time to fight in Winnipeg, Canada. Grief should be the main event in Boston

The fight between Maurício Shogun and Chael Sonnen did not last more than a day at the UFC 161 card. Without giving reasons, the Brazilian posted late on Monday on Twitter that the duel will no longer be played in Winnipeg, on June 15. The Combate.com found to sources close to the organization that Sonnen had visa problems for Canada and with that Brazilian and U.S. should be doing headlining the show Ultimate in Boston, United States, about two months later. This change of date and venue has not been announced officially, but is verbally correct.
- We just know that the fight against Chael also fell. I wanted to apologize to the fans, I did my best to fight. Back in August 17 - Shogun posted.
