Nik Lentz’s next UFC bout will come one week later than he initially anticipated.
After original UFC on ABC 1 foe Mike Grundy revealed that someone on his team tested positive for COVID-19, Lentz has been relocated to UFC 257 against Movsar Evloev. MMA DNA was first to report the change to the featherweight bout. UFC 257 takes place on Jan. 23 on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi and is headlined by a rematch between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.
Lentz is looking rebound after falling to Charles Oliveira and Arnold Allen in his last two Octagon appearances.
