With earlier news that this upcoming weekend’s UFC London card had lost its headliner, the hits keep coming and it’s an avalanche of hurt.
While there was at least an attempt to relocate the main event, plans had fallen apart shortly thereafter. Now we have confirmation via various sources as well as social media (courtesy of MMAJunkie’s Mike Bohn).
These fights have been cancelled due to an inability to reschedule them in short order due to travel restrictions and safety concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic. The UFC even attempted a Hail Mary in the form of an internal e-mail that was circulating and released by Ariel Helwani in which fighters outside the UFC looking for a way in could possibly be used as last-minute talent.
