The UFC’s first event in September has lost a bout.

Ricky Simon announced via social media that he has been removed from his scheduled fight with Brian Kelleher set to take place Sept. 5 in Las Vegas due to one of his cornermen testing positive for COVID-19.

I just got the call that they are pulling me from the card due to one of my cornermen testing positive for Covid. I put in so much work for this fight and I was really looking forward to putting on a show for you guys.
