Three fighters were withdrawn from UFC Vegas 5 before the weigh-ins started. On fight day Gerald Meerschaert versus Ed Herman was scratched after Meerschaert tested positive for COVID-19. Then, during the event, Trevin Giles versus Kevin Holland was called off when Giles fainted backstage.
Giles regained consciousness backstage, but was then hospitalized for a full examination. Last night Giles took to Instagram to tell his followers how he was feeling after the incident.
“Hey everybody I’m all good, at the hospital here,” said Giles. “I’m not sure what really happened, but, I don’t know, the fight ended up getting canceled, as I’m sure you guys know.
