Three UFC Fight Night bouts canceled

Three matches scheduled for UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on Saturday were canceled just hours before the card, two because of COVID-19 issues.

The canceled bouts were the women's flyweight battle between Montana De La Rosa vs. Taila Santos, the featherweight fight Movsar Evloev vs. Nate Landwehr, and the men's flyweight contest between Jimmy Flick vs. Cody Durden.

The UFC confirmed both the De La Rosa-Santos and Evloev-Landwehr fights were canceled because positive COVID-19 tests, but did not specify which fighters, or corner personnel, were affected.

The Flick-Durden fight wasn't a casualty of COVID-19, but an unrelated medical issue with Durden, the UFC announced.

UFC Fight Night's headlining middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Marvin Vettori was still scheduled to go on as planned, although that plan already changed once when Kevin Holland tested positive for COVID-19 and had to be replaced by Vettori.
