I cant speak for all of them but i have found in the past that some of the Visa issues are caused by the fighters or managers wrong doing when filing for it. There are a few different types you can get. I remember Weili Zhang had trouble getting the proper one as well for a while because she was trying to get a promotional or tourist visa instead of a Work visa. Godinez issue im going to assume is just lack of time to properly get it done. Leads me to wonder why you even offer a short notice fight to someone who you aren't sure whether they can get in the country or not.

@hideff 

Yeah also, as someone who doesn't live in america, i know that it's impossible to get a US visa if you already have any criminal convictions, even for the tiniest of things, you gotta have a clean record that could be one of the reasons maybe with fighters or there coaches

Am I the only one who’s noticed how hard the UFC is trying to push Justin Tafa? This is the second time he’s been shat out onto a main card Greg Hardy style, and all he is is a diet Tai Tuivasa. The fact this regional level walking refrigerator is getting a more important spot on the card than Yancy Meideros, Ricardo Ramos and Ben ******* Rothwell rubs me in places I can never show my the******.

in all seriousness i just think they dont know how build up heavy weight prospects, or who even is a prospect in heavyweight because they've led multiple prospects into their doom. And it seems like the logic they use is 1 big knockout= automatic contender.

@Amettxpc I think i agree! After watching film i think i might switch with Dumont also! I Still wanna watch more film on Spencer but Dumont does have way better looking stats then Spencer like more strikes landed per min and almost half as many absorbed which shows she also has a better defense for strikes/takedown. But this can also be because she only had two ufc fights compared to 4

Big matchup between me and FireFist. Very important, I am very invested. If I lose I will definitely be humbled because this really means a lot to me. There are tons of fights on this card I care about, like, um... and I mean the rivalry between me and him is as old as time. Ever since we locked horns for the first time 36 hours ago it was on. And I am sure everyone here is as invested in this battle as I am!

Could one of you post the URL of the game so that us neutrals can check in on it and make comments on the game please? (I only found out recently that you can post comments in games you're not in as long as you've got the URL)

It's just that us fans don't want the biggest fight of the weekend to be behind closed doors!

Is this it? Can't let the fans down! This is the Ali-Frazier of our time. And I for one am stoked to pick a Justin Tafa fight so I can prove to a perfect stranger that I something something more than him!

@Erison

It's coming up saying that I don't have permission to view the game. I forgot that you can only view "public" games that you're not in but not "private" games and challenging someone counts as a private game. Thanks anyway though, and good luck!

Oh dang! Even though Fist is saying I wanted challenge him, this whole feud is happening in his head and he made the matchup. Maybe he can make it public? Or we can cancel this one and make a new public one? 

We cant do this in the shadows. I'm watching a lot of tape on Medeiros (coming off 3 losses) and Hadzovic (coming off 2), and I'm definitely not just gonna arbitrarily pick the favorite!

Does this work? I've never made a challenge, but I think this is the same but public. This is very important!

@Erison

Here's a way you could do it. Create a 1V1 game in the fantasy games but do not click the private game box. Once you've opened the game, invite @FireFist45 (the invite button should be above the game). There's the risk that as it's a public game, someone else could join before he does as it's an open 1V1 but sending the invite to him will cause an alert to pop up on his page and then just hope that he joins before someone else does. 

PSA: If you see an open 1V1 game created by @Erison DO NOT JOIN IT unless you're name is @FireFist45!

Yep, that link above works! PLEASE CAN NOBODY JOIN THAT GAME LINK EXCEPT @FireFist45! Once he's joined, we'll still be able to comment on it without being in the game.
