It looks like the UFC isn’t about to give up on their planned light heavyweight top contender’s tilt between Glover Teixeira and Thiago Santos. The bout, originally set for September 12th was originally delayed due to a positive COVID-19 test from Glover Teixeira just over a week out from fight night.
Along with the announcement of Teixeira’s positive test, the UFC re-booked the bout for October 3rd on the upcoming Holm vs. Aldana Fight Night card. Unfortunately, that plan also had to be cancelled. This time because Santos tested positive for COVID-19.
ESPN reports that the UFC has been less hasty this time around in booking Santos vs.
