Angela Hill tests positive for COVID-19, out of UFC 256 rematch against Tecia Torres

Angela Hill is the latest fighter pulled from her scheduled fight due to a positive COVID-19 test.

The UFC strawweight contender, who was slated to rematch Tecia Torres at UFC 256, announced the news Sunday.

Tested positive for Covid and won’t be fighting next week. Tried to stay as safe as possible during fightcamp but with mma training there’s virtually no social distancing. Was looking forward to running it back, maybe in the near future. #CovidFuckingUpEveryonesSeason #UFC256 pic.twitter.com/karOTjqZO2
