Gregor Gillespie vs. Brad Riddell scrapped from UFC Vegas 22 lineup due to COVID-19 protocols

Yet another fight has been scratched from UFC Vegas 22.

The co-main event between lightweight Gregor Gillespie and Brad Riddell has been postponed to a later date. UFC officials cited COVID-19 protocols as the reason for the fight’s removal from this event. Gillespie has been out of action since a KO loss to Kevin Lee back in 2019, so this is no doubt a bummer for him that he has to wait a bit longer to make his return to the Octagon.

If you’re keeping score this is the fourth fight just this week to be pulled from Saturday’s lineup.
