Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Rodolfo Vieira will have to wait a little longer for his next Octagon outing.
Originally paired up against Anthony Hernandez for a middleweight bout at UFC Fight Island 7, on January 16, the decorated black belt had his fight postponed after Combate reported that ‘Fluffy’ tested positive for COVID-19, thus delaying the match for February 13.
Still undefeated in his mixed martial arts career, Rodolfo Vieira (7-0) scored two submission wins in his first Octagon outings, tapping out both Oskar Piechota and Saparbek Safarov via arm-triangle choke. Overall, the 30-year-old has six submission victories and one TKO on his record.
