Gillian Robertson vs. Miranda Maverick scratched from UFC 258 lineup

Tonight’s UFC 258 lineup is down to 10 fights.

The women’s flyweight matchup between Gillian Robertson and Miranda Maverick has been scratched from the card, according to UFC officials.

Per a release from the promotion, Robertson’s (9-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) removal from the bout with Maverick (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was due to “non-COVID related issue.” No further information on her status was released at this time.
