UFC Vegas 20: Menifield tests positive for COVID-19, fight with Knight to be rescheduled

A light heavyweight fight between Alonzo Menifield and William Knight will no longer happen at UFC Vegas 20.

On Thursday afternoon MMA Junkie reported that the bout was removed from the card after Menifield tested positive for COVID-19. Per the report, both Menifield and Knight will not receive replacement opponents as they are still expected to meet one another, but on a soon-to-be rescheduled date. The UFC is currently targeting March 27 at UFC 260 for the re-booking.

The manager and coach of Knight, Tyson Chartier, has since confirmed the postponement of the fight on Instagram.
