Jessica Penne’s long-awaited return to the Octagon will have to wait. Her strawweight fight with Hannah Goldy was removed from this Saturday’s UFC 260 card after Goldy tested positive for COVID-19.
Goldy posted on Instagram that she had flown out to Vegas for the fight this Saturday but tested positive for COVID-19. The fight is being rescheduled for April 17th on the UFC Fight card that weekend.
Penne returns from an almost four-year layoff due to injuries and a USADA suspension that was subsequently resolved.
The postponement marks another UFC fight that has been affected due to COVID-19. William Knight was taken off of the card due to a positive COVID-19 test and replaced with LFA light heavyweight champion Fabio Cherant to take on Alonzo Menifield.
