At UFC 210, which is scheduled for April 8 in Buffalo, New York, Gegard Mousasi has the opportunity to burst into middleweight title contention with a win over former champion Chris Weidman – that is, if he’s allowed to enter the United States. In a recent interview with Telesport (via Fansided), Mousasi expressed worry that US President Donald Trump‘s recent travel ban could effect his ability to enter the country for this fight. This controversial travel ban bars citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, and Yemen) from entering the United States. As an Iranian-born Dutchman, this could make things difficult for Mousasi.
