Another fight has fallen off Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 183 card due to a fighter testing positive for COVID-19. This time, Canadian bantamweight Aiemann Zahabi tested positive for the virus in a pre-flight test before leaving for Las Vegas and is symptomatic. Zahabi announced the news in an Instagram video issued Thursday. According to a person close to the situation, Zahabi’s scheduled opponent Drako Rodriguez will no longer compete on the card due to the lack of time to find a new opponent. “It’s heartbreaking for me not to be there fight week in Vegas but thankfully my covid 19 symptoms haven’t been too bad so far,” Zahabi wrote in a caption along with the video.
