Saturday’s blockbuster UFC 264 card is down a fight.
The preliminary card opener between Alen Amedovski and Hu Yaozong has been scratched due to COVID-19 protocols within Amedovski’s camp (aka someone likely tested positive). ESPN’s Marc Raimondi first reported the news.

Amedovski (8-2) has yet to win in the UFC and indeed hasn’t even competed for nearly two years.
