Ion Cutelaba tests positive for COVID-19 again, UFC Vegas 8 bout with Ankalaev cancelled

Maybe Ion Cutelaba and Magomed Ankalaev just are not meant to fight each other. Per MMA Junkie’s report, the ‘Hulk’ once again tested positive for COVID-19 forcing the fight to be called off hours before the card is set to start. It is Cutelaba’s second positive test for coronavirus, coming just two weeks after his first one.

Back in February, the first match between Cutelaba and Ankalaev ended in a controversial TKO loss for Cutelaba, ater Ankalaev caught him with a flurry of strikes and Kevin McDonald waved the bout off while Cutelaba was still standing.
