The UFC Fight Night 186 series got another hit.
The women’s weightlifting battle between Angela Hill and Ashley Yoder, scheduled for tonight’s main event, has been canceled.
Two people with knowledge of the situation notified MMA Junkie of the cancellation Saturday, but asked to remain anonymous. One person said the cancellation was the result of a positive COVID-19 test from the camp of Yoder. A UFC press release later stated that it was “due to COVID-19 protocols.”
The promotion wants to re-book the match for UFC Fight Night 187 on March 13th.
The fight is the third UFC Fight Night 186 match to be canceled due to COVID-19. Raoni Barcelos against Marcelo Rojo and William Knight against Alonzo Menifield were also canceled during the fighting week.
UFC Fight Night 186 takes place on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card streams on ESPN +.
With the cancellation, the UFC Fight Night 186 series now contains:
