Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Islam Makhachev has been rescheduled.
The lightweight bout between Dos Anjos and Makhachev was set to take place this weekend at UFC 254; however, the former UFC Lightweight Champion tested positive for the coronavirus, thus the bout was scrapped from the pay-per-view.
Dos Anjos is looking to break the two-fight losing streak that he’s currently on as the veteran has dropped bouts to Leon Edwards (via unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 4) and Michael Chiesa (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 166).
On the other hand, Makhachev is in the midst of a strong six-fight winning streak, with the welterweight notably beating Gleison Tibau (via KO at UFC 220), Kajan Johnson (via submission at UFC on Fox 30), and Davi Ramos (via unanimous decision at UFC 242).
UFC Vegas 14 takes place on Saturday, November 14 from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Check out the updated line-up for the fight night show:
