Ion Cutelaba Unlikely to Fight in Virginia Again After Having Appeal Denied

The last couple of months have been perhaps one of the strangest periods in Ion Cutelaba’s life.

After being the protagonist in one of the most controversial stoppages in the history of this sport at UFC Norfolk in February, Cutelaba had a rematch booked with Magomed Ankaleav for UFC 249 on April 18. He then traveled from the Republic of Moldova back into the U.S., but the rematch was canceled. Now, he is spending his time in quarantine at his home in Chisinau. The eastern European country’s government has imposed 14 days of quarantine for all those who have come from abroad since the COVID-19 outbreak.
