UFC 256 has lost its second bout in as many days.

The final pay-per-view event of the year takes place this Saturday with a stacked card that features a flyweight title fight headliner between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno as well as a pivotal lightweight bout between Tony Ferguson and Charles Oliveira.

However, it recently lost the women’s strawweight fight between Angela Hill and Tecia Torres after the former tested positive for COVID-19.

With the virus ravaging through the UFC Vegas 16 card this past weekend, many feared it would be the same for this upcoming weekend. Unfortunately, it looks there could be more changes.

The light heavyweight bout between Karl Roberson and Dalcha Lungiambula has now also been scrapped after Roberson tested positive for COVID-19. The good news is that it will be postponed to a week later for the UFC Vegas 17 card taking place December 19.

Both fighters confirmed the rescheduling.

Another consolation for now is that it wasn’t a main card fight that was scrapped either. Hopefully, that remains the case until Saturday night.

Here is how the card currently looks:

  • Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno
  • Tony Ferguson vs. Charles Oliveira
  • Renato Moicano vs. Rafael Fiziev
  • Ronaldo Souza vs. Kevin Holland
  • Junior dos Santos vs. Ciryl Gane
  • Cub Swanson vs. Daniel Pineda
  • Mackenzie Dern vs. Virna Jandiroba
  • Billy Quarantillo vs. Gavin Tucker
  • Jared Vanderaa vs. Serghei Spivac
  • Li Jingliang vs. Dwight Grant
  • Chase Hooper vs. Peter Barrett

Every fight thus far on the UFC Minneapolis preliminary card has ended with a finish, and Dalcha Lungiambula vs. Dequan Townsend at light heavyweight was no different.

The two heavy-hitters engaged in a back-and-forth slugfest for three rounds, however, Lungiambula was able to plant Townsend to the canvas early in the third with a beautiful counter shot. Lungiambula was able to mount Townsend and deliver some nasty elbows that subsequently forced the referee to call the action off.
