The invite-only event was scheduled to commence in November at the UFC Apex in Nevada. On Wednesday, Evo’s organisers noted that the main reason behind the cancellation of the Showcase was the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisers stated in a release that the spread of the Delta variant has made it difficult to organise an event at this scale.

The statement read: “Due to the continuing complications of COVID-19 and the spread of the Delta Variant we have made the tough decision to cancel the Evo 2021 Showcase.
