Brian Kelleher will have to wait even longer to get his hands on bantamweight contender Ricky Simon as “Boom” has been forced out of UFC Fight Island 7 due to a positive COVID-19 test, per a recent report by MMA Fighting.
This matchup was originally booked for UFC Vegas 9 back in September but Simon’s cornerman ended up testing positive for coronavirus and the fight was re-booked for UFC Fight Island 7 on Jan. 16. It remains to be seen if the bantamweight affair will be rescheduled once more or if UFC will bring in a replacement to fight Simon in two weeks time.
