Brazilian bantamweight Felipe Colares will no longer be performing next Saturday. Per Globo Esporte’s report, ‘Cabocao’ was forced out of the UFC Vegas 13 card due to a positive COVID-19 test. His match against Gustavo Lopez will be shifted to an event yet to be determined by the promotion.
In a brief interview with Globo Esporte, Felipe explained he is asymptomatic at the moment and hopes to bounce back as soon as possible. Still hopeful, Colares expects a speedy recovery and believes he will meet Gustavo Lopez in the near future, once he is fully recovered.
