The UFC on Fox Sports 1: Shogun vs. Sonnen fight card slated for Aug. 17 in Boston will move forward as planned after UFC officials avoided disaster due to Massachusetts’ requirement for all fighters to have a social security number in order to compete. The requirement nearly tripped up several foreign fighters on the card since they would not normally have a social security number. UFC officials worked overtime, however, to make sure that the fight card will move forward as planned, according to a Boston Herald report. Fighters that enter the U.S. with a valid visa can apply for a social security number. It’s a time consuming process, but the UFC worked with the proper authorities to make it happen.
