Raoni Barcelos was scheduled to face Marcelo Rojo this Saturday Night at UFC Fight Night 186, but that bout will no longer be happening.
That’s because Barcelos has taken to Twitter to reveal that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and his bout with Rojo is off the card:
Infelizmente testei positivo para o COVID 19 e estarei fora desse card do próximo dia 27 de fevereiro,em breve estarei em ação novamente!!#deussabedetodasascoisas @ufc @ufc_brasil pic.twitter.com/UVLw8cpwN6

There is no word at this time if Rojo will remain on the card or if he’ll get rebooked on a future card.
UFC Fight Night 186 takes place on Saturday, February 27 from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada with Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane headlining. PWInsiderXtra is providing live coverage of the event, which streams live on ESPN+.
