UFC Vegas 13: Ian Heinisch Vs. Brendan Allen Cancelled Due To Covid-19 Complications

Covid-19 laid waste on the fight card of UFC Vegas 13, and cancelled a main card bout- Ian Heinisch Vs. Brendan Allen.

UFC Vegas 13 fight card is curtailed to 10 fights, as in the eleventh hour the middleweight fight between Ian Heinisch and Brendan Allen is scrapped, following Heinish’s positive Covid test.

Both the fighters were able to hit the defined weight mark at the weigh-ins, and were all in for a closely contest match, however, it’s not to be anymore.

Brendan Allen, who is 3-0 in UFC, would have fought for the third time in 2020, but just hours before the match-up he took to Twitter to inform that the fight is no longer scheduled, and revealed the reason for the scrap as well.

NO FIGHT TONIGHT! Opponent tested positive for covid so working on getting something else for next year. Thanks to everyone who helped me for this one, super bummed right now and just want to get home https://t.co/dNGzRn6grt
