ACB has finally broken its silence regarding the cancellation of its last two scheduled events — ACB 89 in Cyprus and ACB 90 in Kazan — and the cancellation of the originally titled ACB 92 in Sweden, which was scheduled to take place on Aug. 25.

The news comes three weeks after ACB announced the cancellation of ACB 91 in London because of “technical issues”. The event was supposed to be hosting the return of UK MMA legend, Brad Pickett.

In a statement posted to the promotion’s official Instagram page, “organizational and financial problems” were cited as the reason’s that the shows have not taken place. The post also outlined that the promotion is hoping to put on two more shows before the end of 2018 and a full schedule of events in 2019.

Several fighters who are contracted to the promotion have been given no assurances about ACB’s future, MMA Fighting has learned.

To conclude the statement, ACB urged its fans not to believe “the gossips,” and insisted that the difficult situation the promotion is in will only make it stronger.
