Saturday’s UFC Vegas 15 card has been rocked by a major change, one day out, as it’s being reported that Curtis Blaydes has tested positive for COVID-19.

Blaydes was scheduled to fight fellow heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis in the main event. But, as a result of Blaydes testing positive for the virus, the fight has been postponed. ESPN recently reported the change.

The 29-year-old Blaydes (14-2-1) has won three straight fights and the only fighter to defeat the poweful wrestler to date is Francis Ngannou.

A light heavyweight bout between Anothny Smith and Devin Clark is expected to headline Saturday’s UFC Vegas 15 card now.
