UFC Vegas 24 has taken another hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ricardo Ramos, who was scheduled to face Bill Algeo in a featherweight bout at the UFC APEX on Saturday night, has tested positive for the viral infection and was removed from the card, MMA Fighting has learned. MMAjunkie first reported the news.
“The test came back positive, unfortunately,” Ramos told MMA Fighting on Wednesday. “Thank God I’m fine and that’s what matters. I have no symptoms, but there’s nothing we can do.”

At the time this article was submitted for publishing, there were 15 total fights ready to go down at UFC 259. There are cards that
feel like they have 15 fights – last weeks card that saw decision after decision for example, even though it only had 9 – but rarely do they actually have 15. If we’ve learned anything about the UFC in the COVID era, making it to the week of the fights is hardly a safe haven. If there were bets going on for the amount of fights that would be cancelled before fight night, I’d imagine 2.5 would be the line… and I’d probably lean on the over. Last weeks card saw four contests cancelled on the week of, three of those within two days of the event. So even though six contests are presently scheduled for the early prelims, I wouldn’t count on that being the reality of the situation.
