The rematch between Angela Hill and Ashley Yoder will have to wait.
The UFC announced Saturday that a scheduled strawweight bout between Hill and Yoder at UFC Vegas 20 has officially been postponed “due to COVID-19 protocols.” Hill and Yoder have been rescheduled to compete on March 13 at a UFC Vegas 21.
According to a video posted by Yoder to Instagram, in which she also apologizes to Hill and her team, one of Yoder’s cornermen tested positive for COVID-19.
In their first meeting at The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale in July 2017, Hill defeated Yoder by unanimous decision.
Hill vs. Yoder was to take place on the UFC Vegas 20 main card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. It’s not yet known if another fight will be elevated from the preliminaries to take the spot. The card will proceed with nine bouts.
