Terrance McKinney forced out of UFC Fight Night 198 due to COVID-19 exposure

Terrance McKinney was looking forward to getting a win at UFC Fight Night 198, but it’ll have to wait.

Just a few hours before Saturday’s event, McKinney announced on Twitter that he was forced to withdraw after a member of his corner tested positive for COVID-19. McKinney had been scheduled to fight Fares Ziam in a lightweight bout on the preliminary card at the UFC Apex.

“Someone in my corner got Covid and they were forced to cancel my fight,” McKinney said. “I don’t have Covid, but they say due to risk exposure I can’t fight. Sorry y’all, I appreciate all the support and love. We’re workin hard to get the fight rescheduled ASAP.”

More to come.
