4 years agoGilbert Burns has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not face Kamaru Usman for the welterweight championship at UFC 251. Also returning a positive test was Burns' brother, Herbert, along with one of his coaches. The 33-year-old has already fought twice in 2020, scoring a TKO victory over Demian Maia before edging Tyron Woodley by decision at the end of May. Usman has yet to board a plane to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi as a title defense against a new challenger is still up in the air. --Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
