As concerns of the spread of the Corona virus heightened, the rules for gatherings also became stricter. Now this weekend’s UFC London has been cancelled. There initially was hope of moving the main event between Tyron Woodley and Leon Edwards to another location, presumably in the United States. Those plans have now been scratched, however, as the US have instated a travel ban on citizens from Ireland and the UK. Now that UFC London is officially cancelled, see how fighters who were slated to compete on the card react to the devastating news.
The hopes of salvaging Woodley vs Edwards seems to have died now. However, Woodley is still content on competing, and has announced on social media that he is willing to fight another opponent. There has been back and forth between him and rival Colby Covington – who claims that he has reached out to the UFC in hopes of fighting the former champion.
