Report: Curtis Blaydes – Derrick Lewis Fight Rebooked

The UFC continues to build out its spring schedule, as it’s being reported that a fight between heavyweight contenders Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes has reportedly been rebooked.

Lewis to battle Blaydes February 20th

The heavyweights were originally supposed to fight on November 28th. But, just one day out from the fight, Blaydes tested positive for COVID-19 and the bout was called off.

Now ESPN is reporting that according to sources, the fight has been rescheduled for February 20th. The location for the card has yet to be officially announced.

Blaydes (14-2, 1 NC) is coming off a decision win over Alexander Volkov in June. The powerful wrestler has won four straight.

Lewis (24-7, 1 NC), meanwhile, last fought in August and stopped Aleksei Oleinik. The feared slugger has won three in a row.
