It appears that Jamahal
Hill hasn’t recovered yet after testing positive for COVID-19.
The
Dana White’s Contender Series graduate was slated to clash with
Paul
Craig in the
UFC on ESPN 21 co-feature, but announced he was positive a few
days ago. On Wednesday morning, Craig took to his social media
accounts to announce that his opponent hasn’t recovered yet and
that the match is off.

Ultimate Fighting Championship contract after overcoming

Poppeck with punches and elbows at the 4:29 mark of their
Contender Series encounter in July 2019. In his latest cage
appearance, the Black Lion Jiu-Jitsu-representative smashed
Ovince
St. Preux with punches in the second stanza of their 205-pound

Klidson
Abreu thanks to a first-round TKO victory that was overturned
by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after “Sweet Dreams” tested
positive for marijuana.

“Bearjew” and “Shogun” fought to a split draw at UFC Fight Night
164. In between the two clashes with Rua, the Scottish fighter also

on ESPN 14 encounter.
