UFC Fight Night 182 headliner Islam Makhachev is out of his fight with Rafael dos Anjos this Saturday night. The UFC is looking for an opponent for RDA.
The main event for next Saturday’s event at The Apex in Las Vegas was to feature Mackhachev and RDA in a fight positioning for the lightweight division. RDA called out newly signed Michael Chanlder in an effort to drum up some notoriety for his fight.
I wish @MAKHACHEVMMA a speed recovery. Looking for a new partner to dance. Looks like @MikeChandlerMMA is ready to go. Your move!

The main event was postponed due to RDA testing positive for coronavirus and now Makhachev is out with an undisclosed injury.
Payout Perspective:
This is a big hit to next Saturday’s event as it will go on but without any notable names on the card. Makhachev-RDA was the headliner and without a known opponent for the former lightweight champ, the event lacks any notable interest. We will see if anyone steps up to the main event spot.
