The bantamweight fight between Raoni Barcelos and Victor Henry has been removed from UFC Vegas 45 on Saturday night.
Nolan King of MMA Junkie reported that the removal was due to COVID-19 protocols after Henry reportedly tested positive for coronavirus. The promotional newcomer was brought in on short notice to replace Trevin Jones, who withdrew from the fight against Barcelos for undisclosed reasons.
Despite the last-minute cancellation, the pairing is expected to remain intact. Diego Ribas of Ag Fight revealed that Barcelos vs. Henry will be rescheduled for an upcoming Fight Night event currently scheduled for Jan.
