UFC 251 News: Possible Change To Main Event Plans

According to numerous reports, Gilbert Burns has been forced out of Saturday’s UFC 251 main event with Kamaru Usman.

Burns, and members of his corner, tested positive for coronavirus. They were set to depart for Yas Island in Abu Dhabi for the special “Fight Island” event this past weekend.

The UFC is looking to try and keep Usman on to defend his welterweight title. They are reported to be working with Jorge Masvidal and his team to arrange a bout for the event.
