Khamzat Chimaev vs. Leon Edwards cancelled again

Chimaev’s welterweight fight against Edwards has been cancelled due to the former still suffering from the lingering effects of COVID-19. The Chechen born fighter has lung problems stemming from the illness and will be put on medications for it. The news was confirmed to ESPN by the UFC president Dana White himself.
