Um problem in the visa issuance system for the United States around the world caused significant changes to the TUF Brasil 4 Finale card, which is just over a week away, and the event will now no longer host the finals of Ultimate's official reality show, which ended up being postponed until UFC 190 , which takes place in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) in August.

In addition to the two TUF finals, the co-main fight of the night, between Erick silva and Rick Story. To make up for the gap left by the suspended fights, the Ultimate organization announced two new duels for the event in Miami (USA): Alex Cowboy x Joe Merritt and Leandro Buscapé x Lewis Gonzalez. Furthermore, the confrontation between Antonio Shoe Guy and Eddie Gordon was promoted to the status of co-main event of the night.

This is not the first time that the reality show's decision has changed due to organizational problems. Initially, the event would take place in São Paulo (SP) and would be headlined by the fight between Erick silva and Rick Story. However, Ultimate chose to take the card to Florida and change the original schedule.

The finals of the fourth edition of TUF Brasil will be announced next Sunday (21), when the last episode of the season will be shown. So far, two athletes have already been confirmed in the big decision, they are: Glaico France, in light weight, and Dileno Lopes, at bantamweight. The other finalists are eliminated from the following semi-finals: Reginaldo Vieira (Team Minotauro) x Bruno Korea (Team Shogun) in bantamweight and Fernando Butcher (Team Minotauro) x Nazareno Malegarie (Team Shogun).

TUF Brasil 4 Final, or UFC Fight Night 70 (as the event will become known) takes place on June 27th, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, in Hollywood, in the metropolitan region of Miami (USA). In the main fight of the night, the former Brazilian champion Lyoto Machida face the Cuban Yoel romero, in a duel valid for the middleweight category.
