What a turn of events.
Thursday afternoon saw the removal of middleweight Ian Heinisch from this Saturday’s UFC 250 bout against Gerald Meerschaert. TSN’s Aaron Broensteter reported that one of Heinisch’s cornermen had a positive test for COVID-19, so as a precaution Heinisch was off the card.
Fast forward to Thursday evening, and Heinisch is back in business.
MMA Fighting says that another test was conducted on the person, evidently it came back negative, and since they’ve been cleared, Heinisch vs. Meerschaert is once again on tap for the night’s preliminary card.
