UFC Fight Night 186’s schedule received another blow.
The women’s strawweight fight between Angela Hill and Ashley Yoder scheduled for tonight’s main card has been canceled.
Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the cancellation on Saturday, but requested anonymity. One person said the cancellation was the result of a positive COVID-19 test from Yoder’s camp. A UFC press release later said it was “due to the COVID-19 protocols”.
The promotion aims to reschedule the UFC Fight Night 187 fight for March 13.
The fight is the third of UFC Fight Night 186 canceled because of COVID-19. Raoni Barcelos vs. Marcelo Rojo and William Knight vs. Alonzo Menifield were also canceled during the week of the fight.
UFC Fight Night 186 takes place Saturday, at UFC Apex, in Las Vegas. The card is transmitted in ESPN +.
With the cancellation, UFC Fight Night 186’s schedule now includes:
MAIN CARD (ESPN +, 8 pm ET)
