Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB) was among the main MMA organizations in the world and had already promoted 90 editions of the event. The institution has athletes on its card such as: Brad pickett, Daniel sarafian, Rudolph Vieira. The athletes were attracted due to the high value of the scholarships offered. The show scheduled to take place in Cyprus this Saturday (21) was canceled less than a week in advance. Editions 90, 91 and 92, scheduled for Kazan, London and Malmo, Sweden, are also unlikely to come to fruition.

According to information from the website Combate.com, the future of the organization is still uncertain. The company is in financial trouble and may close its activities to minimize damage. The institution should not realize its dream of promoting the 100th edition, scheduled for Saint Petersburg, on December 14th.

With the cancellation of the event in Cyprus, fighters were affected by cuts and expenses. The notice came just a week before the show and the camp expenses were made. The members of the team Daniel sarafian, Fábio Maldonado and Alexandre Imperador, were notified of the cancellation when they disembarked in Dubai, where they would connect to Europe, on Monday night (16).

On its website, the organization released a note about the cancellation of the event in London:

“ACB 91 which was scheduled to take place in London on August 11th, was canceled due to technical issues, so at this time it is not possible to host the event. All fights announced for the card will be rescheduled for the nearest ACB events.”
