Terrance McKinney removed from UFC Vegas 43 after cornerman tests positive for COVID-19

Terrance McKinney has been removed from his fight against Fares Ziam at UFC Vegas 43 on Saturday.

The UFC lightweight announced on Twitter that one of his cornermen tested positive for COVID-19 just hours before the event was to start. McKinney also revealed that though he did not have COVID-19, there was an exposure risk and he would not be able to compete.

Someone in my corner got Covid and they were forced to cancel my fight. I don’t have Covid, but they say due to risk exposure I can’t fight.
