A key flyweight matchup has been pushed back to October.
The UFC announced Wednesday that a bout between Manon Fiorot (7-1) and Mayra Bueno Silva (7-1-1) has been removed from Saturday’s UFC 266 event at UFC APEX in Las Vegas due to COVID-19 protocols. Fiorot’s manager told MMA Fighting that her team has contracted the virus, but Fiorot has no symptoms and will stay in Las Vegas with the bout being rescheduled for Oct. 16.
Combate was first to report the change.
