Visa Issues Stall Cacareco’s Dream Debut
After running roughshod over his recent opposition, Alexandre "Cacareco"
Ferreira will have to wait a bit longer to show his skills on
the big stage.
"Cacareco" has been forced out of his scheduled bout against Russian Alavutdin Gadzhiyev (Pictures) on Dream's June 15 card at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, due to visa issues, as first reported by IntheGuard.tv.
At 29 years old, Ferreira is a 10-year MMA veteran, but has finally lived up to his potential as of late. One of the world's best light heavyweight grapplers, Ferreira is riding a five-fight winning streak, including highlight reel submissions over Branden Lee Hinkle (Pictures) in 37 seconds via heelhook, Fabio Maldonado (Pictures) in 27 seconds via kneebar, and Lew Polley (Pictures) in 20 seconds via guillotine choke at an IFL event last February.
Dream parent company Fighting and Entertainment Group have yet to announce Ferreira's withdrawal from the bout with Gadzhiyev. An announcement regarding his cancellation and replacement should be made later this week.
