What started as the biggest fear for the Ultimate Fighting Championship is looking become a regular occurrence.

On Thursday evening, the UFC announced that Ramiz Brahimaj (8-2) has been forced out of his bout against Takashi Sato (15-3) at UFC on ESPN 12 on June 27. The reason for his withdrawal was due to one of his cornermen testing positive for COVID-19, which is a similar situation to what Matt Frevola experienced last week.
