Tyron Woodley, the former UFC welterweight champ was supposed to fight Leon Edwards this Saturday at the main event of UFC London. But things didn’t pan out as planned. But unfortunately, the fight had to be called off. This was a very last-minute decision that had to be taken in order to prevent and safeguard all the fans from the pandemic called COVID-19.

 

 As of now, the UFC has decided to go on with the event without the presence of a live crowd. The event is going to carry on as scheduled, but now at an undisclosed location somewhere in the United States. Tyron is ready to headline this event but his opponent Leon Edwards pulled out of the fight. In what position does this leave the main event? Will the fight go down?
