The fight between Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes originally scheduled for November 28’s UFC Vegas 15 has been rescheduled for a UFC Fight Night event on February 20.
ESPN reports that the fight will headline the event, for which a location has not yet been set.
The original fight between Lewis and Blaydes was canceled the day before it was scheduled to happen after Blaydes tested positive for COVID-19. Now, the “Black Beast” will hope to build on his three-fight winning streak while snapping Blaydes’ four-fight winning streak. Despite being longtime heavyweight division fighters, this will be their first time meeting inside the Octagon.
