The 40-year-old fighter tested positive for the coronavirus and was subsequently pulled from the event. He already weighed in and appeared in a faceoff with Uriah Hall on Friday. However, there was an abnormally large gap between the two. In addition to this ‘Jacare’ had on a mask and gloves. He was in close proximity to Dana White, but there are no reports of the UFC President having contracted the virus.
As per Dana White, the positive test only highlights that the system the UFC has in place is working. This can go a long way in encouraging fighters to make a return when the promotion switches its base to Fight Island.
