In one fell swoop, the UFC Vegas 16 lineup has been reduced by almost 30%.
Three of the eleven fights scheduled for Saturday’s show are no longer happening. Positive COVID-19 tests have led to the UFC scrapping the following matchups: Montana De La Rosa vs. Taila Santos, Movsar Evloev vs. Nate Landwehr, and Jimmy Flick vs. Cody Durden. De La Rosa vs. Santos and Evloev vs. Landwehr were supposed to be on the main card, while Flick vs. Durden was slated for the prelims.
Per MMA Fighting, one of De La Rosa’s cornermen tested positive for COVID, hence they removed De La Rosa out of an abundance of caution.
