Michael Bisping: Paul Felder will miss ‘Fight Island’ shows due to possible COVID-19 exposure

Michael Bisping finds himself with an extra gig on “Fight Island.”

The former UFC middleweight champion announced on his Believe You Me podcast that fellow fight commentator Paul Felder will be absent from the broadcast desk at upcoming shows in Abu Dhabi after possibly being exposed to the COVID-19 virus. According to Bisping, Din Thomas tested positive for COVID-19 (Thomas appeared to confirm this news via his Instagram) and Felder was seated near Thomas on a flight to Las Vegas.

Though Felder himself didn’t test positive, Bisping said Felder is being quarantined in Las Vegas for precautionary reasons.
