Ya Bye! UFC 309 Card Suffers Crushing Last-Second Cancelation
Main Event Pulled After Positive COVID-19 Test
The highly anticipated UFC 309 card was dealt a crushing blow just hours before the event was set to begin. The main event between Jan Blachowicz and Aleksandar Rakic was canceled after Rakic tested positive for COVID-19.
The news sent shockwaves through the MMA community and left fans devastated. Blachowicz was set to defend his light heavyweight title against Rakic, who was riding a four-fight win streak.
Stars Align, Then Fall
The cancelation of the main event was a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering the circumstances. Rakic had been training hard for the fight and was confident that he would dethrone Blachowicz.
Blachowicz, meanwhile, was looking to make a statement in his first title defense. He had been preparing diligently and was eager to prove that he was the true king of the light heavyweight division.
Rescheduling in the Works
The UFC is currently working to reschedule the main event between Blachowicz and Rakic. However, no new date has been announced yet.
The cancelation of the main event is a major setback for the UFC, but the promotion is committed to putting on the best possible card for fans.
