Two fighters from Brazil have tested positive for COVID-19 and will no longer be competing at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 172 card.
Per MMA Fighting’s reports, light heavyweight Vinicius Moreira and bantamweight Anderson dos Santos were both removed from the event after receiving their results. Since the resumption of events in May, only those two fighters along with Jacare Souza have been removed from UFC shows after testing positive for COVID-19.
Originally scheduled to take on newcomer Modestas Bukauskas, Vinicius Moreira (9-4) is on a three-fight losing skid in the UFC and was most likely fighting for his job on July 15.
