Due to visa issues, UFC light heavyweight Volkan Oezdemir has been removed from the main event fight vs. Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua at UFC 134 on July 22 in Germany, and will now fight Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 227: Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt 2 on August 4, 2018, in Los Angeles, California. Shogun will fight Anthony Smith. The visa issues were serendipitous, as the UFC was looking for a good fight for Gus, and they found it.
