Leon Edwards, Multiple Others Announce Withdrawal from UFC Fight Night 171
If UFC Fight Night 171 is going to proceed as planned, the card will look drastically different than originally intended.
The card suffered its biggest blow yet on Sunday, when main event competitor Leon Edwards announced that he would not be able to compete on the card. UFC Fight Night 171 was originally scheduled to take place in London, but due to U.S. travel restrictions on the United Kingdom in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the promotion announced plans to relocate the event to an as-yet-to-be-determined location.
Even if that comes to fruition, Tyron Woodley will need a new opponent, as Edwards confirmed he won’t be able to fight.
