Rumored Khamzat Chimaev tested positive for covid

If true they should book Edwards vs Wonderboy

Or see if Colby will take a number one contender fight on short notice against Leon.
 
This is the way. When they draw Khamzat's blood/saliva they'll discover it holds the cure for all diseases.
 
Fight should be cancelled. Is he going to train through this? And weight cut through it? How stupid. Doesn't matter if he has no symptoms now, he's going to bring some on if he acts like nothing's wrong. And if he takes it easy for 2 weeks like he should he's not going to be ready to fight.
 
Told yall you're gonna jinx this card with all the "could be a PPV"-threads. Hope you're happy now.
 
I mean, if the fight is 3 weeks it still might happen. Holland just tested positive and got rebooked for Jacare on the 12th.

God damn, I don’t know how he can prepare for the fight and make weight if he’s having even some symptoms and his training partners probably get it too. Shit!
 
Fucking sucks. Fight is off. See below for why.
the fact is, covid to a healthy person like khamzat, this is nothing but a small cold...nothing more....this should have no effect on him whatsoever.
I agree, i doubt this will have any impact on the Main event, Corona incubation is only 14 days. Better he gets it now than on fight week.
Even IF he was asymptomatic (which contrary to comments from people in this thread, isn't a guarantee for athletes in the slightest... see RDA) he is now poison for anyone to be around. No training partner wants to roll and get guaranteed COVID that'll infect their entire family. So no training camp before one of the biggest ranking jumps in competition in the sport's history. Then there's cutting all the way down to 170 as well which is now more unlikely. I would be in complete shock if this fight is still made.
