UFC 274 takes a late hit, Donald Cerrone out of fight against Joe Lauzon

We have some unfortunate news for those excited to see Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon at UFC 274 tonight.

Jon Anik announced during the broadcast that Cerrone has been forced out of his highly anticipated fight with Lauzon because of a non-COVID-19 related illness. Cerrone vs. Lauzon was supposed to serve as the opener of the pay-per-view portion of the event, but that has now changed. The featured preliminary fight between Randy Brown and Khaos Williams was tapped as the replacement.

“What an amazing matchup that was too, by the way,” said longtime color commentator Joe Rogan in response to the update.
