News BREAKING Leon Edwards Has Covid, Fight Cancelled.

[ignorant MMA fan]

Ironic that the rumor floating about was of Chimaev having the rona, but it's Edwards who actually had it at the time.

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

Would be pretty sweet if their able to add Blaydes/Black Beast to the card as a replacement.

The bald goof better get Khamzat a fight on dec 19

 

[Failwani]

Do Khamzat vs Magny, and book Edwards vs Colby for January or February.

 

[BroRogan]

Covid ducking Khamzat confirmed

 

[Max Power]

The COVID deniers are out in force here.

My toughts exacly just rebook it

because Edwards of course. there's a reason why this guy never fights. he doesn't want to fight.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

right. hes undefeated for a reason.

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

They should just books Edwards vs Islam over and over again and let them both pull out, stall, and cancel the match up until one retires.

That sucks for him and hopefully he has a speedy recovery. I Had a nasty two week flu during 2017-18 flu season and lost close to 18 pounds... my fat ass then actually needed it though.

 

[Kos Fan]

The card is still pretty stacked for a fight night. Either get Chimaev a replacement or move the fight to be a massive Co-Main for 257.

 

[Weuylf]

I just read his tweets about smashing Chimaev ahaha

I'm not That Guy. BUT, I had serious trepidations of this fight going through as planned.

It is what it is.

I think it is shameful the amount of anonymous posters on this forum, that shames a man over catching a disease during a pandemic.

 

[RobertMugabe]

It takes about 5 days to recover from the flu aka COVID so just delay it 1 week.

 

[Grapplefest]

Just sounds like he's cutting weight

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Fuuuuuuuuuck

Chandler wants to step in, right?

Just kidding, of course he doesn't

Well, it is a completely different weightclass. A LW fighting at WW against a guy that has more UFC fights at MW than WW??

Seriously, what's your issue?

 

[The Chosen]

There could be an upside to this: this needs to be the co-main of Conor vs Poirier
