Just saw this pop up on the Sherdog feed.

Edit: After checking out the article, it seems it's not canceled altogether. They want to reschedule it.

Damn. Was excited for that one. Feed him OSP

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

Fuck

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Shogun got lucky, he was gunna get KTFO

 

[Char Jawz]

I read a little further and it says they're rescheduling (to a U.S card, I assume).

Let's hope Shogun would make it past 34 seconds in the rematch at least. Not sure the first one was exactly a "feeding".

Damn, these fights keep falling apart. Let Shogun have his chance to fight a top fighter. He’s earned it and it would be a banger against Oezdemir!

 

[Just Creed]

Meh he was gonna starch shogun anyway lets face it

 

[wilKO]

Volkan knew he was gonna get slept by the GOAT. Smart duck move.

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

I don't believe the article has it right though, if you watched Conors bail hearing they made it very clear whether or not he could travel so if leaving the US was the issue then he'd have already known.

Applying for a work visa to another country however.... you would need to declare arrests and pending charges so I'd assume that's where the problem was but either way I guess it doesn't matter, the result is the same.

Feed it to Blachowicz!!

The article says they are going to reschedule. It sounds like it's probably just gonna get moved to a U.S. card. I read that after I started the thread. Guess I should edit that part. lol

It's hard telling considering Volkan is already probably in the U.S. on a work visa. Not sure how that works, but I assume they want him to stay in the U.S. until his stuff is settled.

Feed it to Blachowicz!!

I'd love this

@Metallicalabran - aren’t you going to this card? Thoughts?

If you have a criminal record or you are going through a trial, you will get your visa application denied in Chile. Mike Tyson couldn't enter Chile because of the rape sentence.

Shogun is the king of rematches
(Except Hendo but he was picking him apart)

Why? Shogun is on a 3-fight winning streak. He should get a shot at one of the higher ranked fighters in the division.

Feed him to hungry dogs for his crimes.
