UFC Vegas 15 will no longer feature a pivotal heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes, as it’s being reported that the latter’s tested positive for COVID-19.
One day out from Saturday’s event, and as the fighters hit the scales, ESPN recently reported that the 29-year-old Blaydes has tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, he’s been pulled from the event, and his bout with the 35 year-old Lewis has been postponed.
Hopefully Blaydes doesn’t incur serious symptoms and has a quick and full recovery.
Although it hasn’t been announced yet by the UFC, one would think that the light heavyweight fight between Anthony Smith and Devin Clark will now headline.
Here is the revised line-up for tomorrow’s event, which is being hosted by the Apex Facility in Las Vegas (line-up via MMA Junkie).
Main Card (ESPN2/ESPN+, 10 p.m. ET)
Devin Clark vs. Anthony Smith
Josh Parisian vs. Parker Porter
Miguel Baeza vs. Takashi Sato
Bill Algeo vs. Spike Carlyle
Preliminary Card (ESPN+, 7 p.m. ET)
Norma Dumont vs. Ashlee Evans-Smith
Martin Day vs. Anderson dos Santos
Gina Mazany vs. Rachael Ostovich

Nate Maness vs. Luke Sanders
