News BREAKING Leon Edwards Has Covid, Fight Cancelled.

[Pakman]

They need to move all cards to Fight Island in 2021 and just have fighters fly out there a month before their bouts.

Ive said this for a while. Unless they get fighters to show up 10 days b4 fighting to Vegas/Apex, any events in the US will have issues because unfortunately, Americans are dumb as fuck.

They need to isolate n get people to fight island.

 

[Elvis.]

They can’t find a replacement

 

[Pakman]

I say cut him, dude rarely ever wants to fight and I'm sure khamzat could recover by 19, find a replacement like magny and the winner gets a title shot or number one contender slot.

You're an idiot if this is a serious post.

 

[Virtually Identical]

Feed him a can, a sacrifice has to be made to the Borz God. We demand blood

 

[dragovic]

Put Wonderboy in there with Khamzat instead.

 

[Joshua Judd]

Bump Thompson up to fight Khamzat

 

[Hall90]

Neil Magny where you at?

 

[PanicWrassler]

how come so many from UK have gone to abu dhabi? is it the only place they can go to or something?

Yeah lol

Pretty much the only place in the world you can go at the moment to party/have any fun.

Charlie Sloth (biggest hip hop/rap/urban etc DJ in this country if you don’t know) is out there permanently for the time being doing shows at The Penthouse.

It’s basically the U.K. over there lol

 

[nostradumbass]

He's lucky. Covid has a much higher survival rate than fighting Chimaev

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

Why can't it still go on? Holland had covid and he got rebooked a week later, this fight is 3 weeks away

Rebook it for when? There isn't another card until Holloway vs Kattar on Jan 16.

Edwards probably has a negative test to produce, a quarantine timeline, international travel guidelines, and maybe the promotional issues since this was supposed to be a headline fight. When Holland got rebooked, he was probably already in the US and was no longer headlining.

 

[dracul]

leon did it on purpose

[WhosTheBoss]

What a fucking joke

Abu dhabi. Only abu dhabi until this covid shit ends.

But it’s never going to “end”

it’s the same shit as the flu. People will always have it.
I had it... felt like a normal cold. 2 weeks ago I got it. First week felt like a cold and back pain. Last week was stuffy nose and maybe 10% headache?

my sense of smell and taste is still gone 80%. Just getting it back today , I can smell candles again.

 

[Lucas1980]

Let them fight with Covid.

Yep or just keep testing him until the fight. There's so many false positive tests for the Rona. Happens in High School sports all the time and then the game is on. No reason that it shouldn't be either.

 

[Londonjitsu]

Khazmat has covid too right?
Why don't they both just wait it out?

 

[Vulcan]

 

[Adamant]

God dammit. I knew Khamzat should have taken the fight with Platinum.

 

[Augustus Caesar]

Oh I really hope that the UFC doesn't put Khamzat on the shelf for too long. The man is hungry and shouldn't take too much time off.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

The card is still stacked, sucks but doesn’t ruin the card for me

 

[imbossing]

Well.....Leon might actually be pretty sick. I know we're all used to false positives and asymptomatic cases but if Leon really has the 'Vid then he's going to be quarantined for 14 days and then have to miss several days of training at time where he's supposed to be peaking and at his sharpest. And there's also the issue of Leon trying to get into the country from the UK with a widely publicized positive covid test.

It sucks but it's the right call if we want to Khamzat tested by the best version of Edwards.

So what about Holland
