Instead of coaching Jorge Masvidal at UFC 251 on Fight Island, his head coach Mike Brown had to watch from home after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
He was definitely shocked after getting the results of his test back, which prevented him from boarding the flight with Masvidal and the rest of their team as he prepared to face off with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman on just six days’ notice.
After returning home, Brown experienced a few symptoms related to the deadly disease but overall he was feeling fit and back to full health rather quickly.
