Former Bellator welterweight champion Lyman Good has become the first active UFC fighter to announce a positive test for COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus. Good (21-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC), who lives in New Jersey and trains in New York, which has been the nation’s hardest hit city during the pandemic, was scheduled to fight Belal Muhammad at the ill-fated UFC 249 originally scheduled for April 18 in Brooklyn. Good withdrew from the bout several weeks ago due to what at the time was simply termed an injury. But on Monday, Good revealed to ESPN that he actually pulled out of the fight after testing positive for COVID-19
