UFC Fight Night 176
is down to eight bouts after Thiago
Moises
tested positive for COVID-19.

Moises’ proposed lightweight scrap against Jalin
Turner
has been canceled as a result.
Combate
was first to report the news. UFC Fight Night 176 takes
place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday and is headlined by
a heavyweight duel between Alistair
Overeem
and Augusto
Sakai
. The card will stream on ESPN+.

A former Resurrection Fighting Alliance titlist, Moises has gone
2-2 thus far during his promotional tenure. Most recently, the
American Top Team representative submitted Michael
Johnson
25 seconds into the second roud at UFC Fight Night 171
on May 13.

Turner is also 2-2 in UFC competition. “The Tarantula” is coming
off a second-round TKO triumph against Joshua
Culibao
at UFC Fight Night 168 on Feb. 23.
