An interesting turn took place Saturday afternoon at The Apex in Las Vegas. The fight with Jamall Emmers and Chas Skelly was cancelled after Skelly entered the Octagon.
During the broadcast, it was stated that Emmers experienced back spasm.

Skelly took the high road and was interviewed by Michael Bisping as if he had won the fight. Obviously, he was downtrodden about not being able to fight. He also was concerned about his weight cut to Featherweight and the prospects of turning around and doing it again.
Payout Perspective:
Earlier in the day the Luis Pena-Drakkar Klose was cancelled due to a cornerman for Klose testing positive for COVID-19. This very last-minute cancellation is too bad for Skelly and very concerning for Emmers. There are still 13 fights on this card, so a lot left for tonight.
