Matt Frevola: UFC ‘paid me my show and my win’ purse for cancelled Frank Camacho fight

Matt Frevola never tested positive for COVID-19, but the UFC lightweight was still unable to compete on the June 20th Fight Night show.

Frevola was scheduled to fight Frank Camacho on the preliminary card of UFC on ESPN: Blaydes vs. Volkov, but his cornerman and fellow UFC fighter Billy Quarantillo had a confirmed positive test for COVID-19. By being in close contact with Quarantillo, the UFC erred on the side of caution and removed Frevola from the event despite the fact that he tested negative.

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Frevola talked about all that transpired, including the fact that he and Quarantillo drove from Vegas to Florida (where they had trained) to quarantine.
