An upcoming bantamweight fight between Frankie Edgar and Pedro Munhoz has faced another rescheduling, as it will now headline a UFC Fight Night on August 22nd.
Combate first reported the news. Edgar and Munhoz were first scheduled to meet at UFC 251 on July 11th. The UFC had a change of plan and decided to move the 135-pound clash to a later “Fight Island” card, but the rebooking didn’t work to plan when Munhoz tested positive for COVID-19.
The promotion then booked Edgar and Munhoz to fight the upcoming UFC 252 pay-per-view on August 15th, but the fight now has yet another date headlining the Fight Night card in Las Vegas on August 22nd.
