2. Khamzat Chimaev withdrew from his planned fight with Leon Edwards due to complications stemming from his recent COVID-19 infection that he previously had, according to his manager Ali Abdelaziz,
Khamzat Chimaev went back to the gym but his lungs did not recover 100%, he needs time for his lungs to recover.

Leon Edwards took the opportunity to call out Jorge Masvidal via twitter. Vicente Luque, Kevin Holland, and Neil Magny are all looking to slide into the main event against Edwards.

“My belt will be taken by the winner of Dustin and Conor.”

Ali Abdelaziz clears the air by tweeting the following:

Enough with the fake news. Khabib said the winner of this fight, will fight for the title, he didn’t say the winner will become champion.
