The ever fresh story of 2020 has again come forward and this time it has struck down the main event of UFC Vegas 15 i.e., Derrick Lewis Vs. Curtis Blaydes.

According to reports just a day before the event the No.2 ranked Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes is tested positive for Covid-19 and hence the fight which was supposed to produce the future No.1 contender is off. Blaydes was scheduled to face Derrick Lewis at the event.

While as per sources, the promotion would try to reschedule the fight for later, and would salvage the contest, but as of now there is no word about the current fight night.
Unlike the last weekly event (UFC Vegas 14), where there were still 5 days left for Paul Felder to enter and Cut weight, this time the fight has canceled at the eleventh hour, therefore there apparently is no time to find a substitute of Blaydes.
The co-main event viz. Light Heavyweight fight between Anthony Smith and Devin Clark will most probably get the elevation to become the main event.
