A women’s banamweight clash between Marion
Reneau and Macy
Chiasson has been postponed for three weeks due to Reneau
testing positive for COVID-19.
Reneau announced the news on her Instagram account Wednesday. As a
result, the fight has been moved from
UFC Fight Night 184 on Saturday to
UFC Fight Night 186 on Feb. 27.
“The fight between Macy
Chiasson and I has been canceled for this weekend,” she wrote.
“Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID. I am feeling 100
percent fine with no symptoms.
“Macy and I have agreed to run it back on February 27! I appreciate
Macy and her camp for being professional and willing to make this
fight happen.”
Reneau is currently mired in a three-bout skid, including a
decision loss to Raquel
Pennington in her most recent outing at UFC on ESPN 11.
Chiasson, meanwhile, bounced back from her first career defeat with
a unanimous decision victory against Shanna
Young at UFC Fight Night 167 in February 2020.
UFC Fight Night 186 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Jairzinho
Rozenstruik and Ciryl
Gane.
