Vera Pulls Out Of Noche UFC 4 After Visa Issues

Noche UFC 4 has lost another fight from its Sept. 12 card after visa complications forced Rodrigo Vera out of a featherweight clash with Ramiro Jimenez.

Vera announced the cancellation on Instagram, per MMA Mania, saying the paperwork did not clear in time for the Desert Diamond Arena event in Glendale, Arizona. "My apologies to Ramiro, it was going to be an excellent fight," Vera wrote. "And well, I wish you all the best and hope you find a super-fast replacement."

What Happens To Jimenez At Noche UFC 4

Jimenez is not expected to remain on the card, reportedly due to the lack of available opponents on short notice. The bout had been scheduled for the preliminary portion of the Noche UFC 4 lineup.

Vera told his followers he will continue training and provide updates on his next booking. The Peruvian featherweight had fought as recently as May in Macau, stopping Zhu Kangjie at UFC Fight Night.
