UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Lewis brought us a doubleheader of women’s MMA. Shana Dobson faced off with Casey O’Neill, while Ketlen Vieira clashed with Yana Kunitskaya.
Unfortunately, I was unable to see the Open Fighting Championship 2 fight between Zaira Dyshekova and Irina Degtyareva. When I initially wrote about the fight, it showed as being streamed on YouTube. However, for whatever reason, that changed at some point and the stream was put on a site I am unable to access. Dyshekova won via a third-round submission that put her one step closer to a possible call-up.
So, let’s look at the UFC fights.
UFC Vegas 19 lost two bouts on Saturday, one of them after one opponent had already walked to the Octagon and was awaiting his opponent.
COVID-19 has forced the cancellation of numerous bouts since it spread across the globe. It made a casualty of another bout on Saturday, forcing the preliminary bout between Drakkar Klose and Luis Pena to get nixed just hours before their fight was to take place.
UFC officials announced the cancellation, offering no details. Pena posted on social media that one of Klose’s cornerman unfortunately tested positive.
“I hate this man, but it’s with a heavy heart that I must inform you guys that the fight has been called off,” Pena wrote.
