The heavyweight duo was scheduled to fight that night in the main event of UFC Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, but the card was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the event re-scheduled for a yet-to-be-announced location, the UFC has once again paired “Razor” and “Drago” for a five-round clash, the company announced Wednesday.
Blaydes (13-2, 1 NC) is on an impressive three-fight winning streak that includes knockouts over former champion Junior dos Santos and Shamil Abdurakhimov. The 29-year-old’s only losses have come against Francis Ngannou. Blaydes has stopped 10 of his other opponents since 2014.
