Bad news for Brazilian-based Stanislov Nedkov fans (there have to be a few, right?). Nedkov, who was set to face Fabio Maldonado at UFC 142 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil won’t be able to fight on the January 14th card due to visa issues.
Tatame broke the news a short time ago (h/t MMA Mania).
UFC 142 features UFC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo defending his strap against Chad Mendes. Also on the card in the co-main event, Vitor Belfort clashes with Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.
